SBP-1832332030-KF42-E1

Rev. 1.0

Description:
Model SBP-1832332030-KF42-E1 is a power amplifier
with a typical small signal gain of 20 dB and a nominal
P1dB of +30 dBm across the frequency range of 18 to 23
GHz. The amplifier exhibits high output power and 10 dB
typical input and output return loss. The DC power
requirement for the amplifier is +8 VDC/900 mA. The RFconnectors are female K connector for input and WR-42
waveguide for output. Other port configurations, such as
male K connectors and WR-42 waveguides for the input
and output port, are also available under different model numbers.
