Overview
The Giga-tronics GT-1040A Microwave Power Amplifiers are high-performance solid-state microwave power
amplifiers. The Giga-tronics GT-1040A provide excellent pulse fidelity, low intermodulation distortion, high
linearity and superior gain flatness without the warm-up time, drift or aging issues of traveling wave tube
amplifiers (TWTA). They feature low noise figure, low harmonics and spurious content, and are highly tolerant to
load mismatch.
GT-1040A:
•
Frequency Range: 10 MHz to 40 GHz.
•
2.92 mm (f) input and output connectors.

Features and Benefits of the GT-1040A Microwave Power Amplifier
•
20 dB nominal gain over the 10 MHz to 40 GHz frequency range.
•
Ideal for testing in R&D labs, ATE systems, wireless communications applications and defense EW
systems.
•
Small size allows easily placing the amplifier close to the device under test.
