Richardson RFPD Introduces Three New 16W Power Amplifiers for Test and Measurement
Richardson RFPD, Inc has announced immediate availability and full design support capabilities for three new 16W power amplifiers from Wavelex.
The new 50-ohm, unconditionally stable PAs operate from a single DC power supply and cover 1805"“1880 MHz, 1930"“1990 MHz, and 2110"“2170 MHz frequency ranges"”common bands for test and measurement applications.
They feature high gain, low gain flatness, low noise figure, infinite load VSWR protection, and high power added efficiency. The new SMA-connectorized PAs are packaged with precision machine housings in Wavelex's WP-1M package. Wavelex products are 100% production-tested on all minimum and maximum electrical specifications.
In addition to test and measurement, the new PAs are suitable for CDMA/WCDMA mobile infrastructure and fixed wireless communication applications.
The WPA18-45A, WPA19-43A and WPA21-41A are part of a new family of 17W to 25W power amplifiers from Wavelex.
According to Wavelex, additional key features of the new PAs include
