Wideband RF Amplifiers
1 Introduction
TBWA2 wideband RF amplifiers are versatile building blocks that can easily be integrated into laboratory
setups. With a 3dB bandwidth of 3MHz to 3GHz and a usable frequency range up to 6GHz, they are ideal to
boost the signals picked up by our EMC near field probes. The TBWA2 wideband amplifiers are available with
20dB or 40dB gain.
