QGN Series Millimeter-Wave General Purpose Amplifiers

Product Description

QuinStar Technology’s series QGN amplifiers are ideally suited for most common applications requiring high RF gain over a relatively narrow bandwidth. The amplifiers are offered with nominal gains of 20 to 50 dB typically, and nominal output power of 10-17 dBm, across their entire operating frequency range.

The standard amplifier housing offers a wide range and combinations of input and output coaxial connectors or waveguide ports.

For 18 to 40 GHz amplifiers we offer 2.9 mm coaxial connectors, and 2.4 mm for 40-50 GHz and 1.9 mm connector for frequencies beyond. Appropriate waveguide input and/or output ports are offered for the entire range from 18 to 95 GHz. Any valid combination of coaxial and waveguide input and output ports can be supplied, if desired. Integral waveguide isolators are also available for improved input and output matches.
