Agilent 8449B 26.5 GHz RF Microwave Preamplifier

By placing a preamplifier (PA) in front of a spectrum analyzer (SA), the effective noise figure for the system (preamplifier + spectrum analyzer) can be reduced to lower than that of the spectrum analyzer alone. The Agilent 8449B 26.5 GHz RF Microwave Preamplifier offers ultra-broad bandwidth from 1 GHz to 26.5 GHz. These high performance amplifiers eliminate crossover networks and multiple power supplies from multiple narrow band amplifiers. Excellent noise figure and high gain, up to 30 dB, significantly reduce test system noise figure, thus increasing the dynamic range. High output power improves recovery of system losses and boost available power in ATE systems.
