## Function

Performs broadband RF/microwave signal amplification over the 2.0 to 18.0 GHz frequency range. It is designed to deliver a minimum linear gain of 23 dB with a gain flatness of ±1.5 dB and a maximum noise figure of 4.5 dB. The amplifier provides a minimum output power of 22 dBm at the 1 dB compression point (P-1dB) with a typical third-order intercept point (OIP3) of 32 dBm, ensuring high linearity for complex signal environments. The input and output ports are nominally matched with a VSWR of 2.2:1.
