Microwave Power Amplifier

Source: Giga-tronics Incorporated

The Giga-tronics Microwave Power Amplifiers offer linear high-power amplification across multi-octave bands. They are ideal for testing in EMC, wireless communications applications and Defense EW systems and broadband testing without band switching or swapping narrow band amplifiers resulting in faster and more accurate testing.

Applications

Aerospace and Defense applications, including EW, ECM, ECCM, radar and satellite system signal simulation and testing
Wireless communications and component testing
R&D benchtop amplifier

Key Benefits

Wide frequency range eliminates the need for band switching providing reduced cost and complexity while increasing reliability
The solid-state parallel MMIC design delivers high reliability and long life.
Excellent linear performance with high gain, low noise figure and low intermodulation distortion (IMD)

From 5 Watts at 20 GHz to ¼ Watt at 50 GHz

The GT-1000A Microwave Power Amplifier can be paired with the Giga-tronics 2520B Microwave Signal Generator to deliver output power of 5 Watts to 20 GHz. The GT-1050A Microwave Power Amplifier can be paired with the Giga-tronics 2550B Microwave Signal Generator to deliver output power of ¼ Watt to 50 GHz and ½ Watt to 40 GHz for CW or pulsed applications. Have the power you need to overcome cable and switching losses or to drive components like higher power mixers and detectors, including testing of power sensors to 50 GHz.
