Description

The all-new wideband PA6000L smart amp provides a convenient and flexible way to amplify signals from 500MHz to 7.0GHz for a variety of RF applications. The dual USB Type-C ports allow for easy integration into automated test environments using SCPI serial commands. Power and gain control along with temperature and voltage monitoring make this device much faster to setup and implement than competing devices. All DC-DC conversion, linear regulation, gate biasing, and power-up sequencing are done internally by the onboard controller.
