The SHF T850 C from SHF Communication Technologies is an RF Amplifier that operates from 100 kHz to 100 GHz. This amplifier provides a gain of more than 10 dB and has a maximum output eye amplitude of 2 V for linear operation. It has a distributed amplifier design that uses SHF’s monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) inside special carriers to achieve ultra-wide bandwidth. The amplifier has a wide bandwidth that offers the capability to amplify binary signals of more than 100 GBaud while its good linearity enables this amplifier to drive modulators and lasers for PAM, optical QAM, OFDM, and analog signals. It requires a DC supply of 5 V and consumes 2 W of power.
The SHF T850 C can be assembled with a heat sink and a junction box that adapts the supply pins to a screw-type terminal. It is available in a module that measures 70.4 x 30 x 31.8 mm with a 1.0 mm (female) connector for input and a 1.0 mm (male) connector for output.
