Pasternack is a global supplier of RF and Microwave components that is strategically aligning its offerings to match the needs of its customers.

The company has recently rolled out ten new 1 Watt and 2 Watt broadband amplifiers that are suitable for defense, EW/ECM, radar, test instrumentation, telecom, satcom, microwave radio and industrial applications from 2 GHz to 18 GHz.

Users have an option to pick 1 Watt and 2 Watt models and range in frequency from 2 to 18 GHz depending on the RF amplifier configuration. These environmentally friendly amplifiers use advanced GaAs pHEMT technology and hybrid microwave integrated circuit design, to offer outstanding performance.

 “We are very excited about this new offering of broadband amplifiers. Pasternack is embarking on a new market strategy to expand its industry leadership and brand recognition in the area of active products, aiming to provide the highest level of customer service and product selection to our customers,” says Michael Rachlin, Active RF/Microwave Product Manager at Pasternack.

Medium power broadband amplifiers come in hermetically closed modules and can operate from -55°C to +85°C. This all-inclusive product offering of RF power amplifier provides customers a choice of gain levels, frequency ranges and power outputs for their exact necessities.

The connectorized SMA (News - Alert) amplifier modules accompany built-in voltage regulation, bias sequencing, reverse bias protection and are completely stable.

These wideband power amplifiers also have over-voltage protection that is connected externally for easy repair. These Hi-Rel RF amplifiers are fully matched internally for 50 Ohm input and output and do not require extra sensitive external RF tuning components.

Also, the new Pasternack’s 1 Watt and 2 Watt broadband RF power amplifiers have exceptional performance in gain ranging from 32 dB to 48 dB, gain flatness from ±1 dB to ±2 dB at the higher frequency range of 12 GHz to 18 GHz, and high linearity levels (IP3) of 39 dBm (News - Alert) to 42 dBm.

The company is currently offering the new medium power broadband amplifiers for same-day shipment.
