Amps cover wideband and narrowband applications

Microwave amplifiers are competitively priced yet provide the quality and performance required for space, military and commercial communications applications

Now available from RF and microwave component specialist Link Microtek is a range of microwave amplifiers that are competitively priced yet provide the quality and performance required for space, military and commercial communications applications. Manufactured by L-3 Narda West, the new amplifiers cover the frequency range 0.5 to 18GHz and can be specified for either wideband or narrowband applications.

Operating from a single +12.0 to +15.0V DC input, they offer low typical noise figures ranging from 1.3 to 5.5dB, a maximum input VSWR of 2.0:1 at 50ohm, and a maximum RF power of +20dBm (CW) or 30dBm pulse.

Key features include internal voltage regulation, gain and phase matching/tracking, external gain control with a 25dB dynamic range, and optional temperature compensation over the range -54 to +85C.

Equipped with SMA coaxial input/output connectors as standard, the amplifiers are housed in compact, rugged, hermetically sealed packages.
