GHz Variable Gain Voltage Amplifiers


High-Speed GHz Amplifiers

»GHz Variable Gain Voltage Amplifiers

  • Variable gain up to 70 dB (approx. × 3000), switchable in 10 dB steps
  • Bandwidth 1 kHz to 1.2 GHz
  • Bandwidth independent of gain setting (guaranteed)
  • Noise figure down to 1.9 dB (330 pV/√Hz)
  • Local and remote gain control

APPLICATIONS

  • Oscilloscope and transient recorder preamplifier
  • Photomultiplier and microchannel plate amplifier
  • Signal booster for optical receivers and current amplifiers
  • Time-resolved pulse and transient measurements
  • Automated measurement systems

Indication of selected gain setting by LED. Output short-circuit protected. Power supply via 3-pin Lemo® socket. A mating connector is provided with the device. Optional power supply PS-15 available. For further information please view the datasheet.
