Pasternack recently introduced new, affordable coaxial-packaged RF amplifiers. The low noise and gain block amplifiers cover wide octave frequency bands from 9 KHz to 3 GHz.
According to the company, these RF amplifiers have P1dB levels up to +23, and many utilize advanced GaAs PHEMT semiconductors.
“These amplifiers exhibit outstanding noise figure levels as low as 0.5 dB and high IP3 linearity up to +37 dBm. Single DC Positive Voltage supply ranges from +12 to +15 Vdc, while bias current ranges from 40mA to 190 mA. The 50 ohm hybrid circuits require no external matching components and are enclosed in rugged metal packages with SMA connectors making them environmentally sealed from harsh elements,” Pasternack said.
Applications for these amplifiers include military communications, electronic warfare, SATCOM, fiber optic communication systems, wireless base stations, medical patient monitoring systems and university R&D labs.
