PAM-118H Microwave Preamplifier Overview
• Wideband, high [50 dB] gain, bench top microwave preamplifier.
• Frequency range: 500 MHz to 18 GHz.
• Primarily used for EMC applications, but can also be used for low noise and high signal amplification.
• Front panel: Two 50-ohm precision N-type connectors for RF input and output.
• Flat gain design for fast adhoc readings during troubleshooting and R&D phase.
• High gain and low noise increase system sensitivity.
• Can be powered by internal battery pack or external AC/DC power adapter/battery charger.
• Individually calibrated using equipment traceable to the SI.
