0.5 To 18 GHz Amplifier Integrated Microwave Assembly Announced

Ronkonkoma, NY -- Rodelco Electronics Corporation recently announced the Model 3703A, a 0.5 To 18 GHz amplifier integrated microwave assembly. Model 3703A offers a unique combination of power, bandwidth, and harmonic suppression in a highly-integrated microwave assembly.

The Model 3703A offers a minimum power output of 5 Watts CW over the frequency range of 0.5 to 18.0 GHz while suppressing harmonics to a level of -60 dBc minimum. The assembly employs a tandem connection of switches, medium power amplifiers, filters, and combining switches to achieve the broadband coverage. The implementation shown utilizes mechanical switches to achieve the maximum output power with a band switching speed of 10 milliseconds.

The Model 3703B is available with PIN diode switches and 1 microsecond switching speed, but maximum output power is limited to 1 Watt CW. These products were developed to meet flightline military requirements.
