Product Information
1W High Linearity Amplifier
Reference Design: 50-800 MHz
The AH202 is suitable for applications between 50 – 800 MHz without any requirements for input or output matching. Only
bypass and blocking capacitors and an RF bias choke are needed for operation. A user can simply request an AH202-PCB900
Evaluation Board and replace components C1, C2, C3, C6, L1, and L2 to the values shown below to evaluate the device.

removed from the circuit without any effect to the performance.
The microstrip line is weakly co-planar. Ground planes around it are not necessary for operation
of the AH202.
Adequate heat sinking is required for the device. Further mounting instructions are shown in the
AH202 datasheet.
The RF choke should be a wirewound ceramic type to insure sufficient current carrying capacity.
Coilcraft’s 1008 CS series is recommended (part #1008CS-471X_B_).
