Detector Log Video Amplifiers (DLVAs)

Labtech Microwave has extensive experience of producing high performance Detector Log Video Amplifiers (DLVA's).

The LMV001 is a CW immune extended range DLVA with an 80dB (-70dBm to 10dBm) dynamic range operating over the frequency range from 2GHz to 18GHz. In addition, the unit includes an output RF port that delivers 40dB gain over the full frequency range. Chip hybrid circuits are used throughout to minimize size and maximize performance. The frequency flatness of ±2dB at both the video and RF outputs is maintained over the full dynamic range and temperature range of -40°C to 85°C as is the 25ns video pulse rise time. The small outline (50mm x 45mm x 12mm) and rugged hybrid construction makes the LMV001 ideal for the restricted space and weight environments of modern airborne and manpack applications.
