Giga-tronics has introduced new solid state wideband power amplifiers that cover the 100 MHz to 50 GHz frequency range. The GT-1000B option 06 covers the 100 MHz to 20 GHz, GT-1050B covers the 2 GHz to 50 GHz range and the GT-1051B covers the 10 MHz to 50 GHz range high output powers, low noise figures and low harmonics in a single amplifier. Designed using Broadband MMIC technology, the GT-1000B option 06 provides 5 Watts from 100 MHz to 18 GHz and the GT-1050B/GT-1051B provides ½ Watt (+27 dBm) at 40 GHz and ¼ Watt (+24 dBm) at 50 GHz with high gain and low noise figure. This ultra-wideband capability eliminates the need to switch between multiple narrow band amplifiers resulting in improved performance and savings in time and expense.
These ultra-wideband amplifiers provider higher power from microwave signal generators and are easily placed closer to the device under test or integrated into automated test systems to overcome cable and signal switching losses. The low noise figure makes them excellent preamps for spectrum analyzers and EMC receivers.
The +/- 3.5 dB typical gain flatness performance outperforms multiple narrow band amplifiers, and the amplifiers feature high reverse isolation, excellent input and output match and the long life and high reliability of solid-state technology.
