HP 8348A Microwave Preamplifier, 2 GHz to 26.5 GHz

Product Summary

The HP 8348A is capable of providing gain and power to overcome systematic RF losses, drive high-power devices, improve measurement system performance, and drive millimeter-wave source modules. The HP 8348A can be used to increase low-level sweep speed in increased dynamic range measurements using a network analyzer.

Product Features

• Reduced systematic power losses for increased dynamic range

• High power drive signals for increased dynamic range

• Increased low-level sweep speed and increased dynamic range measurements in network analyzers
