DESCRIPTION
Our new innovative broadband power amplifier designs provide
performance without sacrificing output power. The ultra wideband
performance of the PA020180-3025-SS can replace multiple narrowband
power amplifiers, there by reducing cost and complexity in microwave
systems.
Our team of engineers can custom design power amplifiers using the latest
simulation software and proprietary technology to meet even the most
demanding specifications.
