Connectorized Push-Pull Wideband Amplifier 50Ω ZX60-23LM+ 500 to 2000 MHz The Big Deal • Ultra-low second harmonic (high IP2) • Built-in reverse-bias protection • Cost-effective design Case Style: GA955 Product Overview This wideband amplifier is a very low-cost, high-performance 500MHz-2.0GHz device based upon a 50-ohm push-pull design. Built within Mini-Circuits’s patented unibody construction, this amplifier features exceptionally low second-order harmonic distortion and is unconditionally stable. It is ideal for a wide range of wireless, small-signal, and lab and test equipment designs. Key Features Feature Advantages Ultra-low distortion This amplifier features excellent second harmonic performance and typical IP2 of 65dBm. Wideband versatility The 500MHz-2.0GHz bandwidth makes this amplifier ideal for a wide range of 50Ω applications, but also suitable as a low-noise amplifier (LNA) for GPS units, wireless cable (MMDS) and wireless LANs, for cellular applications, as well as for lab, instrumentation and test equipment. Low cost/high value The patented Mini-Circuits unibody construction design is unique among amplifiers of its class. In addition, it features 19.0dBm (max) output power in a push/pull configuration, extremely low second-order distortion, a wide bandwidth, and a rugged, connectorized case at a very competitive price point.
