Hybrid power amplifier module
6 – 18 GHz AR Worldwide

Our new line of wide band, hybrid power amplifier modules (HPMs) cover the 6 - 18 GHz frequency range; and are the result of combining Microelectronic technology with the latest developments in thin film substrates. These hybrid modules require a single DC voltage source and are 50 ohm cascadable building blocks with output powers up to 5 watts. Catalog or custom designs are available. Applications requiring higher output levels and higher gain can be achieved by cascading and/or combining individual gain blocks. The modules are hermetically sealed. They pass fine and gross leak military requirements with their RF input/output connectors being field replaceable.

The six new hybrid power modules provide:

* linear output power
* ultra-compact hermetic enclosures
* excellent input and output VSWR
* excellent gain and flatness
* low noise figure
* low intermodulation distortion
* low spurious signals
* 100% load tolerance

These characteristics make the HPMs ideal for many RF applications that require linearity, power, small footprint and wide bandwidth.
