Low Current, Wideband, Ceramic Monolithic Amplifier
The CMA-183L+ is a low current, wideband gain block that operates up to 20 GHz fabricated using highly reliable GaAs HBT process. This Darlington pair amplifier delivers excellent gain flatness, good return loss, low current with acceptable P1dB and OIP3 across a wide bandwidth without the need of external matching network. It has highly repeatable performance from lot to lot and it is packaged in an LTCC hermetic package utilizing fully automated and highly reliable manufacturing processes. CMA-series amplifiers are capable of meeting MIL requirements for gross leak, fine leak, thermal shock, vibration, acceleration, mechanical shock and HTOL. The tests can be performed if requested.

Precision CNG Generator
The NoiseWave NW-CNG instrument improves the speed and accuracy of BER testing by automatically setting precise, stable SNR, CNR and Eb/No ratios, replacing cumbersome alternatives and reducing test time. High accuracy is achieved due to NoiseWave’s proprietary noise generator, broadband amplifier and solid-state variable attenuator and switch technology. Utilizing NoiseWave’s true AWGN noise modules with a minimum noise crest factor of 18 dB allows the user to rapidly and accurately test very low bit error rates.
