Digitally Controlled Variable Gain Amplifier Offers Accurate Attenuation Levels Over the Entire Frequency Band
Irvine, CA - Pasternack, a leading provider of RF, microwave and millimeter wave products, introduces a brand new rackmount variable gain RF amplifier with
performance from 100 MHz to 18 GHz. This 19-inch rack mounted RF amplifier is designed for lab use and various test and measurement applications.
Normally this type of test equipment commands long lead-times for delivery often exceeding several months; however, Pasternack has made this
product available from stock for immediate shipment.
Pasternack's new rack mount RF amplifier
offers broadband frequency coverage from 100 MHz to 18 GHz with high gain levels of 50 dB minimum over a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.
Integrated digitally controlled attenuators boast dynamic range up to 60 dB with a 1 dB step size. Typical performance includes 6.5 dB noise
figure and +14 dBm output P1dB. The package design supports a front panel LED display with manual control dial and SMA connectors, and
a 9 pin D-Sub Miniature connector on the rear panel. It is also environmentally sealed and designed to meet a series of MIL-STD-202F test conditions.
The PE15A7000 variable gain amplifier can be used on a test bench, but is also designed to fit into rack mount cabinet enclosures (size:
1U high and 10 inches deep). Offering control flexibility, the gain level with precise attenuation step size over a wide frequency band can
be manually controlled, or utilize the included RS-232 serial cable and Ethernet connection to link with a PC computer to command control for
automated testing (ATE) applications which could involve production testing over temperature or research and development projects.
"This rack mount variable gain amplifier offers Designers high levels of gain and attenuation across 100 MHz to 18 GHz that can be command
controlled via a PC for highly accurate test and measurement applications," explains Tim Galla, Active RF Components Product Manager at Pasternack.
Pasternack's new rackmount variable gain RF amplifier is in-stock and ready to ship today.
