Abstract :
This paper describes the 12 GHz Intermediate Frequency Amplifier (IFA) to be used in the global coverage payload of the Italian Satellite ITALSAT. The IFA features two operation modes: Mode 1 as limiting amplifier and Mode 2 as linear, programmable gain, amplifier. Switchover between Mode 1 and Mode 2 is accomplished by a Switch Closure type Telecommand.
