The Giga-tronics GT-1000A Microwave Power Amplifier offers linear high-power amplification across multi-octive
bands. It is ideal for testing in EMC, wireless communications applications and Defense EW systems. For EMI/EMC and
standards laboratories, the GT-1000A with 2 GHz to 20 GHz frequency range allows broadband testing without band
switching or swapping narrow band amplifiers resulting in faster and more accurate testing.
The amplifier can be used in wireless communications and component testing wherever a highly linear amplifier is
needed, such as testing RFICs and MMICs, or testing base station transmitters with high crest factor signals and high
peak-to-average power levels. The GT-1000A provides high power for testing limiters, step recovery diodes (SRD), or
driving traveling wave tubes (TWT), magnetrons and klystrons.
The microwave power amplifier with excellent pulse fidelity is ideal for many Aerospace and Defense applications,
including EW, ECM, ECCM, radar and satellite system signal simulation and testing. The GT-1000A is an ideal ATE
system building block for boosting test signals to overcome cable and connector loss whenever long cable runs are
needed in assembly bays, environmental test chambers or field locations.
The amplifier provides up to 40 dB of gain over the 2 GHz to 20 GHz frequency range. Gain is variable up to 10 dB
via a front panel knob. An optional coupler/detector is available for external power monitoring or for external leveling
a companion microwave signal generator. The GT-1000A can be paired with a Giga-tronics 2520B Microwave Signal
Generator, increasing the overall output power while preserving the synthesizer’s fast switching speed, modulation, and
high signal fidelity.
