†Higher Power Narrowband Amplifiers are under development. Contact VDI for more information.
††All amplifiers will meet P1dB specification listed above. Sample P1dB performance as shown in Appendix 1. P1dB data will not be provided with each amplifier.
*For SMP Bias Connectors Only: An SMP to LEMO 00 cable or SMP to SMA cable or both can be provided. Must be specified on quote or PO. An SMP to
LEMO 00 cable is provided if a VDI Waveguide Amplifier is purchased with VDI SAX-UP, CCU, or CCD modules. SMP to LEMO 00 cable is for compatibility
with VDI SAX-UP, CCU and CCD modules. SMP to SMA cable is for general use.
