Abstract:
This radiofrequency broadband amplifier is designed based on Texas Instruments (TI) amplifiers OPA847,VCA821,OPA2596 and THS3201 which has a programmable gain over 0~52dB with a -3dB bandwidth of 60MHz to 130MHz, and a 3dB bandwidth of over 200MHz, having an input and output impendence designed to be 50 ohms. The maximum output voltage without distortion is 2Vrms with a 50 ohm load and within 1dB bandwidth. The maximum gain is over 52dB with an in-band gain error less than 2dB.Measurements suggested that our device has reached all requirement of the subject, and some indexes even surpass the criteria the competition demands.
