500-800 MHz Model BXMF1042 Automatic Gain Controlled Amplifier FEATURES • Automatic Output Control • Wide Bandwidth • High RF Input Damage Protection • Group Delay +/- 1 ns The Model BXMF1042 allows the user to anticipate receiver power levels and automatically adjust the output power to a desired level. With optional gain stages from 25 to 40 dB, this modular family of Low Phase Noise AGCs can be used for multiple applications from 50 MHz to 2000 MHz. Designed for rugged military environments, these units can be customized with an optional time delay adjustment feature as well as a phase modulation compression to accommodate for peak power variations. These AGCs are also designed to minimize group delay with Group Delay performance of as low as +/-1 ns typical. Parameter Typical Min. / Max.
