HP Microwave System Amplifiers
Use these amplifiers to increase output power from microwave sources
and to increase test system measurement speed with improved dynamic range. Drive a variety of narrowband travelling wave tubes with a single driver solution that is highly reliable and low in cost to maintain
year after year. With excellent noise figure relative to its broad bandwidth and high gain, these amplifiers can make significant improvement to system noise figure. By using feedback to an external source
ALC input, system designers can level output power at the test port,
negating the effects of post sweeper reflections and losses. Place power
where you need it with a remotely-locatable dc power supply. The
amplifier and the power supply are provided with a 2-m dc bias cable.
