Model # LC8500
Low Cost RF Amplifier
Frequency Range: 10-500 MHz
Features
• Broad Bandwidth: 10-500 MHz
• Low Phase Noise Performance
• Low Cost Packaging
• Low Noise Figure: 3.5 dB Typical
Model LC8500 is a high performance low cost amplifier covering a wide 10-500 MHz bandwidth. This design
utilizes a silicon based active for superior low phase noise performance. This standard model may also be
modified or customized in order to optimize any one particular parameter. All specification ratings are based
on measurements in a 50 Ω (ohm) system with a DC supply voltage tolerance of +/- 2%.
