New Pulsed Amplifier!

33 to 38 GHz, 5 Watt Pulsed Power Amplifier,
QPP–35053534–BZ

QuinStar Technology, Inc., is pleased to introduce an innovative Ka-Band 5W (37dBm) pulsed power amplifier (QPP–35053534–BZ) with variable pulse rate and duty factor. State-of-the-art power combining and fast pulse modulator techniques are utilized. This amplifier features CW, long pulse, short pulse, and burst modes of operation delivering 5 watts (37 dBm) power with ± 0.3 dB flatness over the 33 to 38 GHz band. The amplifier provides 37 dB gain with ± 0.75 dB flatness over the band. The pulse width of the amplifier can be varied from 100 ns to CW with RF rise/fall time of 10/12 ns.
