Pasternack expands power amp range
New line of GaN and LDMOS RF amplifiers supports numerous broadband applications
Pasternack, a provider of RF, microwave and mmwave products, has broadened its line of high-power amplifiers engineered for a wide array of market applications in VHF, UHF, L, S, C, X and Ku bands.
This new series of high-power amplifiers provides saturated output power levels ranging from 10 watts to 200 watts and is designed with rugged, military-grade, coaxial packages with an operational temperature range from -40 to +185 degrees Fahrenheit.
Pasternack’s high-power amplifiers cover broadband frequencies ranging from 1.5 MHz to 18 GHz and include GaN and LDMOS semiconductor designs. GaN models exhibit high efficiency in a smaller package, and their performance benefits are the most desirable for broadband applications.
Highly efficient Class AB designs feature 50-ohm input and output matched ports, built-in control and protection circuits, and D-sub connectors for DC bias, command control and monitoring functions.
“These broadband, high-power amplifiers are ideal for test-and-measurement applications, as well as transmitting RF signals for radar, military radio, and telecommunication systems,” said Tim Galla, senior product manager.
