Preamplifier for Microwave Testing Com-Power PAM-840A

I Introducing Com-Power PAM-840A:

The 18 GHz to 40 GHz Wideband High Gain Preamplifier Model PAM-840A is a top of the line microwave preamplifier. This preamplifier is mainly intended for EMC applications; however, it can be used for other applications requiring low noise and high signal amplification. The simple front panel includes two 50 Ohm matched air-core 2.9 mm connectors for input and output. The preamplifier is designed to have flat gain with minimal variation across the entire frequency range. Flat gain provides fast readings during troubleshooting, R&D phases and it effectively increases the system sensitivity of all measurement systems. It has low VSWR and high reverse isolation. The PAM-840A preamplifier increases system sensitivity, enhancing the measurement system’s ability to measure low-level signals. It also provides input isolation to your spectrum analyzer or receiver.
