HP 8349B Microwave Amplifier, 2 to 20 GHz

The HP 8349B microwave amplifier 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 8349B can be used to increase low-level sweep speed in increased dynamic range measurements using a network analyzer.

[ 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
