Overview

The Spanawave (formerly Giga-tronics) GT-1050B microwave power amplifier offers linear high-power amplification across multioctive bandwidths and incorporates broadband MMIC-based architecture. These state-of-the-art amplifiers are based on solid-state parallel MMIC design with exceptionally wide bandwidth and high power. The unique circuit topology is highly reliable, with performance that excels where extremes of bandwidth and power are demanded. The GT-1050B provides excellent pulse fidelity, low intermodulation distortion, high linearity, and superior gain flatness without the warm-up time, drift or aging issues of traveling wave tube amplifiers (TWTA). They feature low noise figure, low harmonics, and spurious content and are highly tolerant to load mismatch. The 2 GHz to 50 GHz frequency range allows broadband testing without band switching or swapping narrow band amplifiers resulting in faster and more accurate testing.
