2.1.1
Features and Benefits of the GT-1000B Microwave Power Amplifier
•
The standard GT-1000B typically provides 10 Watts 2 to 8 GHz, and 5 Watts up to 20 GHz. The GT-1000B
Option 06 typically provides 7 Watts 100 MHz to 8 GHz and 5 watts up to 18 GHz.
•
The standard GT-1000B typically provides 40 dB of gain over the 2 to 20 GHz range. The GT-1000B Option 06
typically provides 35 dB of gain over the 100 MHz to 18 GHz range.
•
Incorporates the CAP Wireless patented Spatium™ spatial combining architecture solid-state amplifier. The
Spatium™ technology amplifier is based on a solid state parallel MMIC design with exceptionally wide
bandwidth and high power. The unique circuit topology is highly reliable, with performance that excels
where extremes of bandwidth and power are demanded.
•
Provides 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).
•
Low noise figure
•
Low harmonics and spurious content
•
Highly tolerant to load mismatch.
