Giga-tronics offers special pricing on a high-performance Microwave Signal Generator and Microwave Power Amplifier package, providing high power, high purity signals from 2 GHz to 20 GHz.

The success of the recent introduction of the GT-1000A 2 GHz to 20 GHz Microwave Power Amplifier and the demand from customers to offer this packaged with a microwave signal generator has motivated the company to develop special pricing for the two units if purchased together. The Giga-tronics 2420B is a high performance synthesizer with low phase noise and low harmonics and spurious and is an ideal match to th GT-1000A. The combination of Giga-tronics 2420B and GT-1000A features 2 GHz to 20 GHz output signals with power levels as high as +40 dBm. The US list price is $57,900 for the combination with no modulation, and $64,900 for the combination with modulation. This pricing can be compared to significantly higher prices for equivalent competitive solutions.

The GT-1000A broadband solid-state power amplifier, using the Spatium™ spatial combined parallel MMIC technology, delivers outstanding performance and exceptional value, replacing traveling wave tube amplifiers (TWTAs) with rugged solid-state reliability, safe low-voltage operation, no aging characteristics, and fault tolerance. The GT-1000A provides 2 GHz to 20 GHz frequency range in a single band without band-switching, resulting in +/- 2.5 dB gain flatness across the band, as well as saving time and avoiding the problem associated with band switching between narrow band amplifiers.

The Giga-tronics 2400B series of Value-Line Microwave Signal Generators providing fast switching speed, low phase noise and low harmonics and spurious, are excellent choices for use as local oscillators (LO) in test systems and R&D laboratories. Phase noise is less than -92 dBc/Hz at 10 GHz and offsets 1 kHz and greater, with AM noise floor < -145 dBm/Hz. Harmonics, sub-harmonics and spurious are all < -55 dBc over the 2 GHz to 20 GHz range. The special pricing for the combination of Giga-tronics 2420B Microwave Signal Generator and GT-1000A Microwave Power Amplifier provides an attractive solution delivering outstanding performance and exceptional value for deanding electromagnetic interference and compatibility (EMI/EMC) test, semiconductor evaluation, load pull, antenna range and microwave laboratory applications.
