DR-AN-10-HO

10 GHz Analog High Output Voltage Driver

Photline Driver

The Photline DR-AN-10-HO is a wideband RF amplifier module designed foranalog applications at frequencies up to 10 GHz.
The Photline DR-AN-10-HO is characterized by a low Noise Figure and alinear transfer function whose 1 dB compression point is above 23 dBm. Itexhibits flat Group Delay and Gain curves with reduced ripple over the entire
bandwidth.

FEATURES• Output voltage up to 12 Vpp• Linear amplifier• Flat gain up to 10 GHz

The Photline DR-AN-10-HO operates from a single power supply for safety
and ease of use, and offers gain control over 3 dB. It comes in a compact 52mm x 25.6 mm housing with K type RF connectors (compatible SMA) andwith an optional heat sink.
This amplifier module is ideally suited to drive optical modulators for analog
applications.

Absolute Maximum Ratings
Stresses in excess of the absolute maximum ratings can cause permanent damage to the device. These are absolute stress ratings only. Functional
operation of the device is not implied at these or any other conditions in excess of those given in the operational sections of the data sheet. Exposure
to absolute maximum ratings for extended periods can adversely affect device reliability.
