Benchtop Power Amplifier
The 350S1G6 provides wideband high linear output power over a frequency band of 0.7 to 6 GHz. Over 350 W of output power is achieved with only 1 mW of input power. This amplifier is designed using “Hybrid Microelectronics Technology” resulting in an amplifier with greater power density, smaller size and lower production cost than previously possible.

Ferrite Bead Impedance Calculator
Vishay Intertechnology Inc. has introduced the industry’s first online ferrite bead impedance calculator. Available at www.vishay.com/inductors/ferrite-bead-calculator/, the time-saving online tool makes it simple to find the impedance of Vishay’s most popular surface-mount ferrite beads at any given frequency and calculate the effective impedance at the stated frequency with DC bias applied. The new calculator eliminates the need to determine impedance information from the Z vs. frequency graph in product datasheets, plus it also removes the guesswork in determining how much impedance is reduced.
