RF Amplifiers
Analog Devices RF amplifiers are designed using the company’s leading amplifier and RF IC expertise. The company’s extensive family of single-ended, input/output, fixed-gain amplifiers can be used from low frequencies up to microwave and include gain blocks, low noise amplifiers, intermediate frequency amplifiers, driver amplifiers, and differential amplifiers. These devices offer high linearity, low noise figures, various fixed-gain options, and low power consumption; they are all fully specified over frequency, temperature, and supply voltage for use in a variety of applications.
