AtlanTecRF launches X-band miniature amplifier with MIL-STD-883 screening as standard

RF & microwave equipment and component provider AtlanTecRF of Braintree, UK has launched the AGM-1005-15 miniature X-Band amplifier, which can be used in either connectorized or drop-in configuration and which features high-reliability screening to MIL-STD-883 as standard.

Covering the frequency range 8.0-12.0GHz, the amplifier uses thin-film and MMIC technology to provide what is claimed to be a versatile, economical and reliable gain module for microwave applications in communications, radar and defence equipment.

The AGM-1005-15 runs from a +15V DC supply to deliver more than 18dBm of linear power at a typical gain of 12dB and noise figure of 4dB at +25C. Gain flatness is +/-0.75dB (maximum) over the band, and the input and output VSWRs are 2.0:1 maximum.

All units are tested over the temperature range from -55 to +85C, and the MIL-STD-883 screening includes precap, stabilization bake, temperature cycling, burn-in, acceleration, vibration as well as gross and fine leak.

Approximately the size of a small postage stamp, the amplifier enables high-density assembly and is also casacadeable for higher gain.
