Z-Communications has announced the launch of its new AWB1022A wide band, low noise amplifier that operates from 10 kHz to 20 GHz. The new product is part of Z-COMM’s ever-expanding offerings in the low noise amplifier space for applications varying from test and measurement, lab bench and prototyping.
The AWB1022A low noise amplifier complements Z-COMM’s products in the RF frequency chain and compliments the company’s existing frequency sources such as the SSG22645LX wide band frequency synthesizer (45 MHz – 22 GHz), and family of phase locked oscillators. With these products, engineers can quickly and easily generate frequencies and amplification over a very wide range, along with the ability to drive other devices along the RF analog chain.
The AWB1022A can be used as a stand-alone solution and it will perform with any lab frequency source while accepting a maximum input power of +23 dBm. When paired with the Z-COMM SSG22645LX frequency source, it will produce a typical power output of 18 to 24 dBm across the 10 kHz – 20 GHz range. The low noise amplifier is compact in size with dimensions of 2 in (50.8 mm) L x 1.4 in (35.6 mm) W x 0.46 in (11.7 mm) H. It operates from a single power source of 12 V (DC) and has a typical current consumption of 120 mA.
The AWB1022A wide band low noise amplifier is available from stock through Z-COMM’s e-commerce site and it is priced at $1,500.00.
