Coaxial Wideband Microwave Amplifier ZX60-183A-S+ 50 6 to 18 GHz The Big Deal Wideband, 6-18 GHz CASE STYLE: GC957 High Gain, Very Flat Response, 28 dB 1.6 dB typ. Excellent Isolation, 65 dB typ. Unconditionally Stable performance Product Overview The ZX60-183A-S+ two-stage amplifier provides high gain in a very small package, only 0.75 x 0.74 x 0.46 high. Internal compensating circuitry provides a consistent, very flat response over the full bandwidth. Designed for 50 SMA coax systems, the gold-plated package uses convenient 5V DC power, and has a nickel-plated brass cover and unibody construction for rugged use. Key Features Feature Advantages Wide frequency range supports a wide array of applications, from microwave radio and radar Wideband, 6-18 GHz, usable over 5-20 GHz to military communications, satellite communications, and countermeasures 1.7 dB gain flatness across entire bandwidth minimizes the need for external equalizer net - Excellent Gain Flatness works, making it a great fit for instrumentation, test lab, EW, or any other amplitude-sensitive system 28 dB gain with reverse isolation of 65 dB (38 dB directivity) prevents leakage, making the ZX60-183A-S+ an excellent choice for minimizing interactions between different microwave High Gain and Excellent Isolation components. It is an ideal LO driver amplifier and provides designers system flexibility and robustness when integrating cascaded RF components Unconditionally Stable No risk of damage to other components from impedance mismatch or internal oscillation Notes A.
