Low-noise and low-power broadband amplifiers are used to improve the sensitivity of field strength testing and general attenuation testing, up to 28GHz.
The power requirement for working is DC 12 V / 300 mA (for example, optional AC/DC adapter, laboratory power supply, rechargeable battery).
The input and output ports of the broadband amplifier are sensitive to electrostatic discharge. Therefore, precautions must be taken before touching the amplifier. (Coaxial cable and human body discharge).
The amplifier input has an SMA female connector. Provide a 0.5 meter long coaxial microwave cable to connect the antenna to the amplifier. The cable is equipped with an SMA male connector. The amplifier is equipped with a 3/8-inch female camera thread to connect to a mast, such as AM 9144. The antenna itself is mounted on the amplifier base with another 3/8" screw. The polarization rotation can be easily indexed within a few seconds by further screwing in 45° steps using the fixing bolt.
It is very important to avoid bending and twisting of the microwave cable, otherwise it will cause permanent damage. The recommended way to install the antenna: the antenna connector points to the opposite direction of the RF-input port of the amplifier . This makes the smoothly moving microwave cable have a larger radius of curvature.
Typical installation example, installed with horn antenna BBHA 9170 and antenna mast AM9144, horizontal, 45° and vertical polarization.
