The ZAMP003 is an ultra low current low noise amplifier designed for L band and IF applications. Although the ZAMP003 has been designed primarily for DBS applications the ZAMP003 is capable of extending to frequencies of 2.5GHz so it has a good fit with various applications. An additional benefit of the ZAMP003 is it's rising gain characteristic, this has been designed to counteract the gain losses found at the higher frequencies. The ZAMP003 has been optimized for input and output impedance's of 50 ohms. The ZAMP003 complements the buffer amplifiers in the ZAMP range to give a low current high performance solution. Packaged in a small SC70-6 with the minimum number of external bias components required it is the ideal solution for space and current limited applications.
