Pasternack, a leading provider of in-stock and ready to ship RF, microwave and millimeter wave products, announces the release of new affordable coaxial-packaged RF amplifiers. Both low noise and gain block amplifiers are offered and display excellent performance covering wide octave frequency bands from 9 KHz to 3 GHz.

All of these new amplifiers from Pasternack provide an outstanding value and are all priced less than $500 USD for a single unit. These products provide engineers a convenient and economical source of in-stock and ready to ship coaxial RF amplifier solutions. These devices are also perfectly suited for a variety of applications including military communications, electronic warfare, SATCOM, fiber optic communication systems, wireless base stations, medical patient monitoring systems and university R&D labs.

Pasternack’s newest families of RF amplifiers have P1dB levels up to +23, low VSWR and are unconditionally stable. Many of these amplifier designs utilize advanced GaAs PHEMT semiconductors for highly linear performance and high efficiency. These amplifiers exhibit outstanding noise figure levels as low as 0.5 dB and high IP3 linearity up to +37 dBm. Single DC Positive Voltage supply ranges from +12 to +15 Vdc, while bias current ranges from 40mA to 190 mA. The 50 ohm hybrid circuits require no external matching components and are enclosed in rugged metal packages with SMA connectors making them environmentally sealed from harsh elements. Designs perform across the full operational temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

“Our new cost-effective amplifier solutions provide our customers an excellent value considering the performance specifications and capabilities of these devices all offered from stock,” says Tim Galla, Product Manager of Active Components at Pasternack. “LNAs and gain blocks are integral parts in many RF/microwave systems and this portfolio will meet and exceed the needs of many of our customers’ requirements.”

All of the products in Pasternack’s new economical amplifier portfolio are in-stock and ready to ship today. You can view the new amplifiers by visiting http://www.pasternack.com/pages/Featured_Products/cost-effective-low-noise-and-gain-block-rf-amplifiers.htm.
