QPN Series Millimeter-Wave
Narrowband Power Amplifiers

 

Characteristics
  • Offered over 18-95 GHz
  • State-Of-The-Art Power Performance
  • Compact MIC Design
Product Description

QuinStar Technology’s series QPN power amplifiers utilize advanced Millimeter wave Monolithic Integrated Circuits (MMICs) and discrete devices for state-of-the-art power performance up to 4 GHz bandwidth in the 18-95 GHz 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 connectors 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.

In addition to the standard products, QuinStar can produce customized amplifiers to specific requirements. Integral waveguide isolators are also available for improved input and output matches.
Specifications

SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR SELECTING & ORDERING THESE AMPLIFIERS

  1. Locate the QPN model number below that has the desired characteristics.
  2. Choose the desired Center Frequency and Bandwidth from within the Frequency Range given in Column 2. (NOTE: the standard product has 2 GHz of operating bandwidth within this Frequency Range.)
  3. In the Model Number column replace "ABCD" with your desired Center Frequency (AB) and Bandwidth (CD), rounded to nearest GHz.
  4. In the Model Number column replace "XX" with one of the choices in the Outline column (see mechanical outline drawings below).
  5. Submit the completed model number to QuinStar.
