Articles by Microwave Journal

Published March 1, 2006 In an effort to better combine the editorial content of our magazine with our newly developed and retooled on-line presence, we have decided to expand Harlan's RF and microwave engineering advice into a monthly feature that appears in Microwave Journal. Harlan has selected one question...

Broadband Amplifiers

The model 15S5G7 (15 W) and model 30S5G7 (30 W) amplifiers operate in the 5 to 7 GHz frequency range. These broadband amplifiers are well suited for testing WiMAX components because of the amplified signal the models produce is virtually indistinguishable from the signal generator's output. Since the linearity of the amplifier signal is as strong as the signal generator there is no interference with adjacent channels. In addition, the units' high peak-to-peak power ratio means the amplifiers deliver more useable power.

Power Splitters/Dividers

The In-Line two-, three- and four-way power splitters/dividers are now available with SMA connectors. These Wilkinson style power dividers, Dx-64FF series, cover the frequency range from 800 to 2500 MHz to include the cellular, PCS and UMTS bands in a single unit. Each divider has been designed for low power applications where output isolation is preferable over lowest possible loss. The wide frequency range of this design allows use with multiband antennas and leaky cable systems.
