HP 83051A Microwave System Amplifier, 45 MHz to 50 GHz

The HP 83051A microwave system amplifier is a compact, off-the-shelf amplifier designed for systems designers and integrators. This amplifier provides power where you need it to recover system losses and to boost available power in RF and microwave ATE systems. The ultrabroad bandwidth from 45 MHz to 50 GHz allows the designer to replace several narrow bandwidth amplifiers with a single HP amplifier, eliminating the need for crossover networks or multiple bias supplies.
