Description
The MAAMML0018 is a high reliability X band
variable gain amplifier. This weight and space saving
design has been realised by utilising the latest
advances in housing materials. A variable attenuator
is followed by an X band amplifier. This allows total
unit gain to be adjustable over a >= 28dB range,
from an applied control voltage.
Alternative frequency ranges, gain, output powers
and supply rail configurations are available.
The MAAMML0018 is also available as a space
qualified version. Please contact the factory for
details.
Mechanical
This device is supplied with field replaceable SMA
connectors. It is hermetically sealed, with a
gold-plated finish to MIL-G-45204.
