rf amplifiers

Discover how a merger between Antenna Research Associates and Empower RF Systems pairs antenna and high-power amplifier engineering into one integrated RF platform. With counter-UAS, electronic warfare, and SATCOM demand climbing, see what the combined company aims to deliver to customers working in contested spectrum.

Narda-MITEQ's SLNA family brings COTS flexibility to space flight LNA applications, covering VHF through Ka-Band with gain options up to 50 dB and radiation tolerance up to 200 krad — from LEO missions to the outer reaches of deep space.

Behind every successful EMC compliance test is a high-quality RF amplifier. Learn how these devices generate required field strengths, suppress unwanted harmonics, and maintain stable operation during demanding radiated immunity testing in semi-anechoic chambers.

This comprehensive guide explores four critical parameters of RF amplifiers - gain, noise figure, linearity, and efficiency. Understanding these specifications is crucial for engineers designing high-performance amplifiers that deliver clear signal transmission while balancing power consumption and signal integrity in modern communication systems.

To avoid costly errors in selection, invest the time upfront to gain a basic yet thorough grasp of key amplifier specifications and operating principles before identifying the optimal model for your application needs.

If you’re performing commercial conducted radiated immunity tests strictly by the book, you will want to utilize a radio-frequency (RF) signal generator and power amplifier combination that fully complies with IEC 61000-4-6.

More power costs more money when it comes to broadband power amplifiers, so we typically only specify/buy to meet our current needs rather than what we may need in the future.

This brief article is geared towards EMC test practitioners who are tasked with specifying broadband RF amplifiers for RF immunity testing and need to quickly get up-to-speed on the key factors involved in the buying decision before actually making the purchase of an expensive amplifier.
