Amplifier Boosts 20 To 2000 MHz

Oct. 8, 2009

Model ZX-60-V82+ is a wideband amplifier from Mini-Circuits that operates from 20 to 6000 MHz, with 14-dB gain at 2 GHz. It provides +19 dBm output power at 1-dB compression and offers a third-order intercept point of typically +35 dBm. The amplifier, which features input and output ports matched to 50 Ohms, has input VSWR of typically 1.30:1 and output VSWR of typically 1.50:1 for ease of cascading with other 50-Ohm components in a signal-processing chain.
