Multi-octave amplifier modules cover 10 MHz to 30 GHz
Designed to be both economical and versatile, the amplifiers include a model to operate over 0.05 to 20.0 GHz in one unit with 24 dB gain, +23 dBm output power and less than 4 dB noise figure, while another spans 12.0 to 30.0 GHz with 30 dB gain, +20 dBm output power and just over 3 dB noise figure.
According to Karen McDermott, AtlanTecRF’s marketing co-ordinator, the wide bandwidths and good all-round performance characteristics make these amplifiers suitable for a wide variety of applications — especially for system and test equipment engineers alike.
The stainless steel RF input and output connectors are mostly SMA female or 2.92 mm where the frequency dictates. Housings can be aluminium alloy or copper, gold plated, as required and the operating temperature range of all models is -45 to +85°C.
Another important feature is the high IP3 performance, up to +38 dBm while reverse isolation is often greater than 65 dB and all operated from a convenient +12V DC input.
