Now available from RF and microwave component specialist Link Microtek is a range of microwave amplifiers that are competitively priced but are said to 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 wide-band or narrow-band applications.

Operating from a single +12.0 to +15.0 VDC input, they offer low typical noise figures ranging from 1.3dB to 5.5dB, a maximum input VSWR of 2.0:1 at 50 ohms, 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 +85degC.

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