N4985A-P15

High Performance 10 MHz to 50 GHz System Amplifier

Description

The N4985A-P15 system amplifier is a high performance broadband amplifier with excellent power and gain from 10 MHz to 50 GHz. The amplifier is designed to be easily used in lab and test applications and is completely self-contained with a standard AC power supply.

Applications

The N4985A-P15 is a test amplifier designed for broadband power and gain applications. It is ideally suited for saturated RF amplifier testing, driving TWT amplifiers, or as an antenna system amplifier. High gain and typically 22 dBm output power at 50 GHz will overcome long cable losses from the signal source, and will provide additional power required in many development and test applications.

Features

1 W (30 dBm) Psat 2 to 10 GHz

Excellent performance at 20 GHz:

High gain (25 dB, +2 dB flatness)

26 dBm P−1dB’ 29 dBm Psat

Easy to integrate into your lab:

N4985A-S30

100 kHz to 30 GHz Broadband RF Amplifier

Description

The N4985A-S30 system amplifier is a high performance, broadband ampli­fier featuring baseband RF (< 100 kHz) through millimeter wave (> 30 GHz) frequency coverage. The amplifier is designed to be a multi-use laboratory RF amplifier as a gain block for frequency domain applications or as a time domain pulse amplifier. It’s small size and versatile performance make it an excellent selection as a general purpose gain block with moderate power output in a single package potentially replacing 2 or 3 narrower band amplifiers.

Applications

The N4985A-S30 system amplifier is an often needed companion to synthe­sized signal generators and microwave sources. The amplifier’s small size allows close placement to the DUT or test fixture. High gain and greater than 20 dBm output power will overcome long cable losses from the signal source and provide the additional output power needed in many development and test applications.

Features

Broadband: 100 kHz to 30 GHz

22 dBm Psat at 26 GHz

30 dB gain to 26 GHz

Useful gain above 30 GHz

< 5 dB noise figure

AC power supply included

Small size: 3.5” x 3.5” x 1”

N4985A-S50
