Pasternack Enterprises Inc. has unveiled a line-up of L and S band high gain amplifiers covering 1.2-1.4GHz and 3.1-3.5GHz geared for commercial and military radar applications as well as observation satellites and communications systems. The amplifier modules are packaged in hermetically-sealed metal enclosures and exhibit outstanding performance in high gain, gain flatness, high output power and low noise, added the company.
The RF amplifiers use a hybrid microwave IC design and advanced GaAs pHEMT technology to produce an unconditionally stable module. They are also designed with built-in voltage regulation, bias sequencing, and reverse bias protection for added reliability and over-voltage protection is installed externally for easy repair.
A total of six L and S band high gain amplifiers are offered in this latest release from Pasternack. Two of those products are low noise amplifiers (LNA) that demonstrate noise figure performance of 1.1-1.5dB at high gain levels of 40dB typical gain while also exhibiting excellent gain flatness. Also offered are 10W 20W high power amplifiers that have exceptional gain performance of 40-47dB with 1-1.5dB gain flatness. Pasternack is also releasing an L-band driver amplifier that displays solid gain performance of 47dB while delivering competitive gain flatness of 1.5dB, the company stated.
The 1.2-1.4GHz and 3.1-3.5GHz high gain amplifiers from Pasternack are in stock and available to ship the same-day.
