Hello all,
Its alright Ed. I thank you for your replies. I'm currently in not too much of a rush at this time. Planning to swap this component around late fall or winter. The bench was relocated from a nice A/C room to a "hot box" called the gulf coast climate in preparation for a move that is on going.
I did more reading and it turns out this pdf is so close but not enough. There are 4 databooks in total (page 1-7 "How to use the databook series") with the pdf I posted being one of them. I need 10 MHz to 3000 MHz / 3 GHz at least. The data book I posted only has components going up to 2000 MHz / 2 GHz at most.
So currently, of interest to my case is the databook from Avantek labeled "Microwave and Millimeter Wave Amplifier Data Book".?I usually arrive at a dead end on google unfortunately. I think I can send an email or two but I'm not sure if they are available anymore.
Some more random searches of Avantek components reveal the reason why I came here. Google "PPA-517R" for example.?There is a databook from HP themselves or rather Avantek had HP's name on the datasheets after it was aquired in 1991. The component I have is date coded for 1994. If anyone has anything around that date or can point me where to go it would be appreciated.
Right now I'm trying to break down what "SPP-90" stands for. PP I guess stands for Planar Pak. This can't be a switch either. I know it isn't from the design of the circuit. It has to be some sort of amp with +15V (??mA) constantly going thru its DC bias. S and 90 I have no clue. Is there a modern equivalent of the package name for "planar pak"? SMTO - 8 or SM - 25? I'm going off of a successor of Avantek (Cougar/Teledyne).
