The MS061805 from Microwave Systems JSC is a Multi-Octave High Power Amplifier that operates from 6 to 18 GHz. It provides a saturated output power of 7.3 W with a small signal gain of over 40 dB. The amplifier has 5-bit digital gain control (0.9 to 27.9 dB) and has a built-in output power detector. It requires a DC supply voltage from 8.6 to 10 V and consumes up to 6 A of current. It uses advanced GaAs microwave device technology and provides long term reliability and ruggedness. This wideband amplifier is available in a hermetically sealed module that measures 5.07 x 2.03 x 0.91 inches and has SMA (F) connectors. It is ideal for use in communications systems, test instrumentation, broadband RF telemetry, point-to-point radio, and fiber optics applications.
