Pasternack, an Infinite Electronics brand, has just released a new line of bi-directional amplifiers that are used to transmit high-quality signals while amplifying Rx signals with advanced LNA to produce the highest possible data rates.

Pasternack has added four new models to its existing line of bi-directional amplifiers, making a total of six different models now available. This portfolio consists of a comprehensive offering covering popular VHF/UHF, L-, S-, C-Bands that range from 0.225 to 5.875 MHz. These rugged, mil-grade designs are in compact, environmentally-sealed, SMA-connectorized packages and feature either quick-connect or D-SUB connectors for DC and control functions. 

The designs in this line offer sensitive receiver performance with 2.5 dB noise figures. Some also incorporate highly efficient GaN semiconductor technology. Transmit output Psat levels range from 8 to 20 W that boost performance of data links and transmitters. These models feature manual or auto-sensing transmit/receive control with fast switching times of 1-2 µsec. 

“Pasternack’s new selection of bi-directional amplifiers offers higher frequency capability and GaN technology with higher efficiency, which is ideal for broadband RF telemetry, tactical communication and unmanned aerial vehicle applications,” said Tim Galla, product line manager.

Pasternack’s bi-directional amplifiers are all in-stock and available for immediate shipping with no minimum order quantity required.
