General Description
The PAC18700T is a K-band Power amplifier module with integrated power supply and
detector circuit providing more than 30dBm output power from 17.7 to 19.7 GHz
frequency band. This high gain power amplifier has a typical 26dB gain over its
frequency range. With high third order intercept point of 46 dBm, PAC18700T is one the
best options for applications where linearity is important. The integrated single +5V
power supply and wide dynamic range power detector and modular configuration with
SMA connectors for input, output and sample make this amplifier easy to use in any
system on this band.
