Mini-Circuits’ ZVA-183WA(X)-S+ is a coaxial, wideband RF amplifier capable of operating from 100 MHz to 18 GHz. The design can deliver output power of +30 dBm typical at saturation and +27 dBm typical at 1dB compression, making it an ideal choice for applications requiring a wideband driver amplifier. With a low noise figure of 4 dB typical across a majority of the band, it can be used in test setups that require higher dynamic range. The amplifier incorporates several DC-protection features such as over-voltage, reverse voltage , and in-rush current, that protect the amplifier from damage if mishandled during operation.
