ASC is pleased to announce Model ASC357C, the first of a new product line of wideband, high dynamic range amplifiers using the latest GaN HEMT devices. Their higher voltage and power density operation offer much lower parasitic capacitance and much higher dynamic resistance that provide wider bandwidth and higher output power.

The ASC357C is a wideband 500 to 3000 MHz medium dynamic range class AB amplifier with an output one dB gain compression point of typically +36.5 dBm. The typical gain is 12 dB with a power added efficiency (PAE) of 51%. The supply voltages are +28 and -5.

The ASC357C was designed for both military and commercial applications that include test instrumentation, cellular infrastructure, broadband amplication suitable for OFDM, W-CDMA, EDGE and CDMA waveforms.
