QuinStar Technology's series QIC CW IMPATT amplifiers utilize a double
drift IMPATT diode mounted in a temperature stabilized waveguide cavity to amplify and
generate high RF output power. They are available in stable (linear) or injection-locked,
single or multiple stage configurations in commonly used frequency ranges between 43 and
97 GHz. Injection-locked versions have a free running output signal in the absence of an
in-band input signal of sufficient power to attain lock. |
The
amplifiers are provided with integral circulators, DC voltage regulator, and shielded
interconnecting cable mounted on a baseplate. Heatsink stands and temperature controllers
are also available to help maintain frequency and power stability over a wide baseplate
operating temperature range. |
