SBP-1832732528-KFKF-S1

Rev. 1.3

Description:
Model SBP-1832732528-KFKF-S1 is a power amplifier with atypical small signal gain of 25 dB and a nominal P1dB of +28
dBm across the frequency range of 18 to 26.5 GHz. The
amplifier exhibits extreme gain flatness and 10 dBm typicalinput and output return loss. The DC power requirement for
the amplifier is +8 VDC/850 mA. The RF connectors arefemale K connectors. Other port configurations, such as
male K connectors and WR-42 waveguides for either theinput or output port, are also available under different model numbers.
