The Agilent microwave system ampli-

fiers are compact, off-the-shelf ampli-

fiers designed for systems designers

and integrators. This family of ampli-

fiers provides power where you need

it to recover system losses and to

boost available power in RF and micro-

wave ATE systems.

The ultrabroad bandwidth from 10 MHz

to 50 GHz allows the designer to

replace several narrow bandwidth

amplifiers with a single Agilent ampli-

fier, eliminating the need for crossover

networks or multiple bias supplies.

The 83050A power amplifier and

83051A preamplifier expand frequency

performance to 50 GHz, while the

1 Watt 83020A offers broadband

power to 26 GHz. The small amplifier

footprint allows for simple in-line

insertion to existing system blocks

that require amplification. The stan-

dard 83017A, 83018A, and 83020A

include internal directional detectors

for external leveling applications.

The 83020A is optionally available

without the coupler-detector provid-

ing up to +30 dBm and +25 dBm,

respectively. With excellent noise fig-

ure relative to their broad bandwidth

and high gain, these amps significant-

ly improve system noise figure and

dynamic range. These products come

equipped with a low profile heat sink,

an integral mounting bracket, and a

two-meter DC power supply cable.

Thermal and power supply design

allows fast, easy integration into most

measurement systems.

Microwave System Amplifiers

Product Overview

Applications

Small envelope size makes the Agilent

Technologies family of microwave

system amplifiers ideal for automated

test and benchtop applications, offer-

ing the flexibility to place power

where you need it.

Boost Source Output Power

Increase output power from

microwave sources to increase test

system dynamic range. Drive high

input power devices such as TWTs,

mixers, power amps, or optical modu-

lators. Drive test devices into com-

pression for device characterization.

Recover Systematic Losses

The microwave system amplifiers

help solve the power loss from con-

nectors, cables, switches, and signal

routing components which consume

valuable source power. Long trans-

mission paths, common in antenna

applications, are particularly suscep-

tible to such losses.

Level Source Power

By using feedback to an external

source ALC input, system designers

can level output power at the test

port, negating the effects of post-

sweeper reflections and losses.

Simply route the directional detector

output to the source external ALC

input connector. The figures at right

show typical results.

The 83020A, 83018A, and 83017A fea-

ture an integral directional detector

to supply feedback. To level an 83006A

amplifier, use the 0.01 to 26.5 GHz

83036C directional detector or the

1 to 26.5 GHz 87300C coupler with

an 8474C detector.

Improve Measurements

The 83006A, 83017A, and 83051A

preamplifiers increase the sensitivity

and dynamic range of spectrum

analyzers. Add a preamplifier to

noise figure measurement systems

to significantly lower system noise

figure. The table below shows typical

system noise figure reduction achiev-

able with these amplifiers. Note that

the reduced system noise figure is

dominated by the preamplifier noise

figure. See Application Note 57-2,

literature number 5952-3706.

Benchtop Gain Block

Benchtop microwave design tasks

often require amplification to meas-

ure low level output characteristics,

improve system dynamic range,

perform saturation tests, or boost

power levels. The Agilent family of

system amplifiers offers small size

and immediate, off-the-shelf solutions

to microwave design, production,

or test engineers.

Pulse Parameter Measurements

Fast rise time and multi-octave

bandwidth make these amplifiers

attractive for fast pulse parameter

measurements. The 0.01, 0.5, and

2 GHz cutoff frequencies make them

more useful for RF or impulse meas-

urements with low duration times.

Specifications: describe the instrument’s warranted performance over the temperature range +20° C to +30° C (unless otherwise noted). All specifications apply after the

instrument’s temperature has been stabilized after one hour continuous operation. Typical characteristics are intended to provide information useful in applying the instrument

by giving typical but nonwarranted performance parameters. These are denoted as “typical” or “nominal” and apply over the temperature range +20° C to +30° C.

Caution on Electrostatic Discharge: Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage or destroy electronic components. It is recommended that these amplifiers, like other electronic

components, be installed and operated at a static-free workstation or in an environment where precautions against ESD have been implemented.
