The Agilent microwave system ampli-fiers are compact, off-the-shelf ampli-fiers designed for systems designersand integrators. This family of ampli-fiers provides power where you needit to recover system losses and toboost available power in RF and micro-wave ATE systems.

The ultrabroad bandwidth from 10 MHzto 50 GHz allows the designer toreplace several narrow bandwidthamplifiers with a single Agilent ampli-fier, eliminating the need for crossovernetworks or multiple bias supplies.The 83050A power amplifier and83051A preamplifier expand frequencyperformance to 50 GHz, while the 1 Watt 83020A offers broadbandpower to 26 GHz. The small amplifierfootprint allows for simple in-lineinsertion to existing system blocksthat require amplification. The stan-dard 83017A, 83018A, and 83020Ainclude internal directional detectorsfor external leveling applications.

The 83020A is optionally availablewithout the coupler-detector provid-ing up to +30 dBm and +25 dBm,respectively. With excellent noise fig-ure relative to their broad bandwidthand high gain, these amps significant-ly improve system noise figure anddynamic range. These products comeequipped with a low profile heat sink,an integral mounting bracket, and atwo-meter DC power supply cable.Thermal and power supply designallows fast, easy integration into mostmeasurement systems.

ApplicationsSmall envelope size makes the AgilentTechnologies family of microwave system amplifiers ideal for automatedtest and benchtop applications, offer-ing the flexibility to place powerwhere you need it.

Boost Source Output Power Increase output power frommicrowave sources to increase testsystem dynamic range. Drive highinput power devices such as TWTs,mixers, power amps, or optical modu-lators. Drive test devices into com-pression for device characterization.

Recover Systematic Losses The microwave system amplifiershelp solve the power loss from con-nectors, cables, switches, and signalrouting components which consumevaluable source power. Long trans-mission paths, common in antennaapplications, are particularly suscep-tible to such losses.

Level Source PowerBy using feedback to an externalsource ALC input, system designerscan level output power at the testport, negating the effects of post-sweeper reflections and losses.

Simply route the directional detectoroutput to the source external ALCinput connector. The figures at rightshow typical results.

The 83020A, 83018A, and 83017A fea-ture an integral directional detectorto supply feedback. To level an 83006Aamplifier, use the 0.01 to 26.5 GHz83036C directional detector or the 1 to 26.5 GHz 87300C coupler with an 8474C detector.

Improve MeasurementsThe 83006A, 83017A, and 83051A preamplifiers increase the sensitivityand dynamic range of spectrum analyzers. Add a preamplifier tonoise figure measurement systems to significantly lower system noisefigure. The table below shows typicalsystem noise figure reduction achiev-able with these amplifiers. Note thatthe reduced system noise figure isdominated by the preamplifier noisefigure. See Application Note 57-2, literature number 5952-3706.

Benchtop Gain BlockBenchtop microwave design tasksoften require amplification to meas-ure low level output characteristics,improve system dynamic range, perform saturation tests, or boostpower levels. The Agilent family ofsystem amplifiers offers small sizeand immediate, off-the-shelf solutions to microwave design, production, or test engineers.

Pulse Parameter MeasurementsFast rise time and multi-octave bandwidth make these amplifiersattractive for fast pulse parametermeasurements. The 0.01, 0.5, and 2 GHz cutoff frequencies make themmore useful for RF or impulse meas-urements with low duration times.

Specifications: describe the instrument’s warranted performance over the temperature range +20° C to +30° C (unless otherwise noted). All specifications apply after the instrument’s temperature has been stabilized after one hour continuous operation. Typical characteristics are intended to provide information useful in applying the instrument by giving typical but nonwarranted performance parameters. These are denoted as “typical” or “nominal” and apply over the temperature range +20° C to +30° C.

Caution on Electrostatic Discharge: Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage or destroy electronic components. It is recommended that these amplifiers, like other electronic components, be installed and operated at a static-free workstation or in an environment where precautions against ESD have been implemented.
