AR1298 - Cougar Components

The AR1298 from Cougar Components is a wideband cascadable amplifier designed for RF and microwave applications spanning 20 to 1200 MHz. This TO-8B packaged device delivers 1 watt of output power with a low noise figure of 4.0 dB, making it ideal for sensitive receiver front-end and driver stage implementations. Key performance specifications include a third-order intercept point of +45 dBm and second-order harmonic suppression at +69 dBm, ensuring excellent linearity and minimal distortion in multi-signal environments. The high-performance thin film construction provides reliable operation and thermal stability across the full frequency range. Cascadable design allows flexible system integration for gain stacking and multi-stage amplification chains. Suitable for communications, radar, test instrumentation, and electronic warfare applications requiring broadband gain with controlled noise and distortion characteristics.
