The ZVA-18443VG+ from Mini-Circuits is a Medium-power Variable Gain Amplifier that operates from 18 to 43.5 GHz. It delivers a saturated output power of 1.25 W (~31 dBm) with a variable gain range of 25 to 47 dB. This amplifier requires a DC supply of 10 to 15 V and consumes less than 2800 mA of current. It incorporates a full suite of control and diagnostic tools, such as output power monitoring, amplifier fault tracking, internal temperature monitoring, enable/disable functionality for lower power consumption, and configurable digital or analog gain control. The amplifier is available in a module that measures 1.55 x 2.04 x 1.11 inches with 2.92 mm (female) connectors. It is ideal for test and instrumentation, 5G-FR2 millimeter wave testing, aerospace and defense, broadband telecom, and Ka-Band SATCOM applications.
