SL1521
SL1521 is 300MHz WIDEBAND LOG AMPLIFIER manufactured by GEC Plessey Semiconductors.
300MHz WIDEBAND LOG AMPLIFIER
The SL1521A and C are wideband amplifiers intended for use in successive detection logarithmic IF strips operating at centre frequencies of up to 200MHz. It is a plug in replacement for the SL521 series of RF amplifiers The midband voltage gain of the SL1521 is typically 12d B The SL1521A and C differ mainly in the tolerance of voltage gain
