TBDA1 wideband driver amplifiers are versatile building blocks that can easily be integrated into laboratory setups. With a frequency range of 40MHz to 3GHz and output power of + 22 dBm at 1dB compression, they are ideal to boost the amplitude of low-power RF sources or to drive power amplifier stages. The TBDA1 wideband amplifiers are available with 14dB or 28dB gain.
