5.5 Low Noise Amplifiers (11-005902 & 11-006702)
5.5.1 Description
The Gallium-Arsenide low noise amplifiers used in the unit are double stage, solid-state low
noise amplifiers. Class A circuitry is used throughout the units to ensure excellent linearity
and extremely low noise over a very wide dynamic range. The active devices are very
moderately rated to provide a long trouble-free working life. There are no adjustments on
these amplifiers, and in the unlikely event of a failure, then the complete amplifier should be
replaced. This amplifier features its own in-built alarm system which gives a volt-free relay
contact type alarm that is easily integrated into the main alarm system.
