Broad-Band Limiting Amplifier Poduct Line Expanded by Pasternack

Pasternack Expands Broadband Limiting Amplifier Products Dynamic Range and Ship Same Day

Broad-band limiting amplifier product line offering has been expanded by Pasternack. The Broadband limiting amplifier components product line was expanded to provide components with a wider dynamic range. Limiting amplifier applications typically include: electronic warfare, microwave receivers and broadband communications systems.

These coaxial broad band limiting amplifiers cover a wide frequency range from 1 GHz to 18 GHz, depending on model. Uses for broad band limiting amplifiers are: to protect sensitive microwave receivers by “limiting” excessive input power which could potentially create unwanted distortion or even damage the receiver.

The new RF limiting amplifiers from Pasternack offer a wide input dynamic range between -61 dBm to +20 dBm. These limiting amps have also have high gain levels of 40 to 80 dB typical gain while exhibiting excellent gain flatness performance of ±1 dB depending on the specific model. Additionally, these limiting broadband amplifier products accept a wide range of input power levels, while responding with a limited range of output power between 15 and 19 dBm with a saturated power output deviation of ±0.5 dB over the frequency range, independent of the input.

Pasternack wideband limiting amplifiers are housed in hermetically-sealed packages and are designed to withstand harsh environments. The new wide-band limiting amplifier operating temperatures ranging from -30 to +70 degrees C. Over-voltage protection on these RF/microwave amplifiers is installed externally for easy repair and the amplifiers are fully matched internally for 50 Ohm input and output, which eliminates the customers need for any additional sensitive external RF tuning components.

Five models of broadband limiting amplifiers include the PE15A6002 which features 60 dB of gain and supports 1 GHz to 2 GHz frequency range, the PE15A6015 which features 40 dB of gain and supports 2 GHz to 4 GHz, the PE15A6007 which features 80 dB of gain and frequency range of 2 GHz to 6 GHz, the PE15A6008 which features 40 dB of gain and a frequency range of 2 GHz to 8 GHz, and the PE15A6012 which offers 40 dB of gain and a frequency range of 6 GHz to 18 GHz.

As with all of Pasternack's over 40,000 RF/microwave products, these limiting amplifiers are in-stock and ship the same day as they are ordered.
