FEATURED RF AMPLIFIER PRODUCTS

The NC1000 Series amplified noise modules produce AWGN as high as +13 dBm, and have bandwidths up to 10 GHz. The high power modules are designed to test noise immunity for cable TV equipment, secure communication channels, and military jamming systems.

The Model 675 offers premium signal integrity with an easy-to-use and robust touchscreen display interface. The output voltage can be adjusted in amplified mode up to 24 volts. The disruptive and innovative architecture provides unmatched performance, versatile functionality, outstanding usability, and upgradability during the life of the instrument.

The APN319 from Northrop Grumman is a GaN power amplifier that operates from 47.2 to 51.4 GHz. It provides an output power of 7 W with a gain of 20 dB and Power Added Efficiency of 19%. This amplifier requires 24 V DC supply and consumes 200mA of current. It is fabricated using a GaN on SiC process and measures 2.8 x 1.4 mm (3.92 mm2). The amplifier can be used in 5G and SATCOM systems.

The SA10396 Ku-band CDL-compatible RF front-end is designed to meet these requirements with integrated solid-state power amplifier (SSPA) and low-noise amplifier (LNA) performance optimized for airborne and defense communication environments.

dB Control offers a series of TWT amplifiers with operating capabilities throughout the 4 – 18 GHz frequency range from 2 to 4 kW. With their high frequency bandwidth and power options, these amplifiers are ideal for radar, electronic countermeasures, electronic warfare simulation, test/measurement, antenna pattern, and radar cross-section measurement applications.

The PAM-5K300 is a low frequency preamplifier designed to provide reliable, repeatable measurements in the 5 kHz to 300 MHz frequency range. This solution is an excellent choice for improving system dynamic range and can be used as a standard workhorse of any EMC test house for compliance testing.
