ZVE-18GB+ RF Amplifier by Mini-Circuits
The ZVE-18GB+ from Mini-Circuits is a Power Amplifier (PA) that operates from 0.1 to 18 GHz. It delivers a saturated output power of +33 dBm (~2 W) with a gain of up to 30.5 dB. This PA has a noise figure of 4 dB and a return loss of 12 dB (input) & 11 dB (output). It includes DC-protection features, such as over-voltage, under-voltage, reverse-voltage, and in-rush current limiting, that protect the amplifier from damage if mishandled during operation. This power amplifier requires a DC supply of +15 V and consumes less than 1200 mA of current.
The ZVE-18GB+ is available in a compact, rugged module measuring 2.13 x 1.68 x 0.74 inches and has SMA (female) connectors. This amplifier is ideal for wideband test & instrumentation, military, EW, radar, satellite systems, Wi-Fi 6E/7 and microwave point-to-point radio applications.
