Z-Communications Inc. (Z-COMM) announces the AWB0022M wideband low noise amplifier (LNA) spanning frequencies from DC to 22 GHz. The AWB0022M is a new product line introduction to the LNA space for applications varying from test and measurement, lab bench and prototyping, to potential OEMs.

The AWB0022M LNA is a continuation of ZCOMM’s product line in the RF frequency chain and compliments the company’s existing frequency sources such as the SSG22645LX wideband frequency synthesizer (45 MHz to 22 GHz). With these two products engineers can quickly and easily generate frequencies and amplification over a very wide range with the ability to drive other devices up along the RF analog chain.

The AWB0022M is a standalone connectorized, low noise, wideband amplifier that will perform with any lab frequency source while accepting a maximum input power of +15 dBm. The AWB0022M, when paired with the Z-COMM SSG22645LX frequency source will produce typical power output of 15 to 20 dBm across the 45 MHz to 22 GHz range. The AWB0022M is compact in size with dimensions of 2 x 1.4 x 0.46 in. It operates from a single power source of 12 Vdc at a typical current consumption of 68 mA.

The AWB0022M wideband LNA is available from stock through Z-COMM’s ecommerce site.
