DS Instruments PA20000 1W 20GHz Power Amplifier

Features:

• SMA RF input and output ports
• Compact aluminum enclosure
• Status LEDs and audible alerts
• Temperature, voltage, current monitoring
• Micro-USB control port
• Simple plug-and-play operation with free PC control software
• 50-Ohm port impedance

The wideband PA20000 provides a compact and affordable way to amplify signals from 5-20GHz for a variety of Ku-band applications. Simple USB-C control makes this device much faster to integrate, and more flexible than traditional multi-voltage lab-supply powered devices. All negative voltage generation, gate control biasing, current limiting, temperature monitoring, and voltage detection are done internally automatically. Only a single (included) 12VDC adapter is needed. Gain is adjustable from 0 to +28dB.
