RedBox Model: CRBAMP-100-6000 AMPLIFIER 100MHz to 6.0GHz Crystek continues to enhance its product portfolio with the release of the RedBox Amplifier. Crystek’s model CRBAMP-100-6000 is a low-noise general purpose connectorized amplifier covering a frequency range of 100MHz to 6GHz. The amplifier is housed in a custom aluminum enclosure (1.25” x 1.25” x 0.59”) with 3 SMA connectors for both input and output as well as the power supply input. The unit operates from a single +5V supply consuming only 60mA. This broadband, low-noise amplifier has a small signal gain of 18dB with an output power of 17dBm (P1dB). It features a typical noise figure of 3.5dB with an IP3 of +30dBm. Applications include IF or RF buffer amplifiers, base stations, high reliability applications and general lab use for in-house testing.
