Class AB broadband RF and microwave amplifiers for radar and communications introduced by Pasternack

IRVINE, Calif. – Pasternack Enterprises Inc. in Irvine, Calif., is introducing a series of high-power, Class AB broadband amplifiers that incorporate GaN, LDMOS or VDMOS semiconductor technology.

The combination of high linearity and efficiency with low distortion over a wide dynamic range for applications like communications systems, military radio, radar, signal jamming, test and measurement, and base stations.

Pasternack offers 18 new high power, class AB RF and microwave amplifiers that cover frequency bands from 20 MHz to 18 GHz that feature saturated output power levels ranging from 10 to 200 Watts and power gain to 53 decibels.

Designs operate in a 50-Ohm environment and are unconditionally stable. The compact coaxial packages use SMA or N-Type connectors and have integrated D-Sub control connectors for DC bias, enabled with TTL logic control, current sense and temperature sense functions.

These rugged assemblies for communications and military uses operate in temperatures from -20 to 60 degrees Celsius and can withstand relative humidity exposure to 95 percent maximum. To ensure optimum baseplate temperature, Pasternack offers two heatsink modules with DC controlled cooling fans for power amplifiers.
