VWA-0R518-MP-1421
14
dB Gain 0,5 to 18GHz Ultra Wideband
Medium Power Amplifier Module
Description
The
VWA-0R518-MP-1421
is a broadband single
stage GaAs MMIC amplifier module, which provides up
to 14 dB gain from 0.5 GHz to 18 GHz and delivers
+21 dBm of output power, with less than 6 dB Noise
Figure within the bandwidth. This unit can be provided
with a matching in phase of +/- 10°. This unit is
designed for Ultra Wideband applications and is ideal
for ECM, T&M, driving E/O modulator with RF signal as
well as others RF applications. This amplifier has single-
ended input and output, and SMA field replaceable RF
connectors (male or female).
