X-Band Limiting Amplifier

Replacing an older design, Teledyne Microwave Solutions reduced component count and increased overall reliability in this X-band limiting amplifier. The design covers 9.0 to 10.0 GHz and provides dynamic range over inputs from –14.0 to –4.0 dBm, and output of 28.5 dBm. The output power variation versus frequency and temperature (–46° to 72° C) is ~±0.3 dB and typical rise and fall times are ~5 nanoseconds. The amplifier operates from a 400 Hz, 115 Vac power source. Teledyne Microwave Solutions can also provide limiting amplifiers covering broader frequency ranges, dynamic ranges, and output powers in excess of 1 watt.

Features:

• 9 to 10 GHz Frequency
• 28.5 dBm Output Power
• ±0.3 Output Power Change Vs. Frequency and Temperature (-46° to 72° C)
• Operates off 400 Hz 115 VAC Supply

Custom Integrated Assemblies
Teledyne Microwave Solutions offers full first-level integration capabilities, providing not just performance components but also full subsystem solutions to help reduce program schedule and cost. Drawing on our expanding breadth of components, Teledyne Microwave Solutions delivers customer-specified subsystems of analog and mixed analog-digital design, including hybrid, MMIC, and mixed hybrid-MMIC configurations. Designed to meet military or space applications, some typical subsystems Teledyne Microwave Solutions delivers include I/Q demodulators, coupled detector assemblies, switched amplifier detector assemblies, and dual-band VCOs.

Our experienced component and subsystem engineering staffs work closely with the customer's design team. We can help identify and develop the correct integrated subassembly to complete the system requirements and reduce component interface difficulties. Following are several examples of our integrated subassemblies.
