Richardson RFPD introduces a 2 to 20 GHz benchtop power amplifier
The RM022020 features Qorvo’s patented Spatium™ combining technology to provide high performance in a general purpose laboratory bench top amplifier for applications that include lab work, test and measurement, load pull, EMI test, and anechoic chambers and test ranges.
It is suitable for use a driver/booster amplifier, enabling more power incident upon the device under test (DUT), which makes it an ideal alternative to traveling wave tube amplifiers (TWTAs). The RM022020 operates instantaneously across the 2 GHz to 20 GHz spectrum, achieving saturated output powers (Psat) greater than 20-W. Front panel manual gain adjustment enables simple, rapid performance optimization.
Built-in-test (BIT) monitors continuously evaluate amplifier performance and provide instant visual indication of anomalous behavior. Custom configurations and optimized screening conditions are available on request.
According to Qorvo, additional key features of the RM022020 include:
- Solid state MMIC reliability;
- Multi-element redundancy;
- Instant on (no warm-up);
- Flat gain response;
- Excellent harmonic and intermodulation characteristics.
