The Mini-Circuits ZHL-5W-422+ is a Class A high-power amplifier designed for 500 to 4200 MHz applications, delivering 5 W output power with a gain of 20 to 25 dB and gain flatness of ±1.7 dB. It operates from a 30 V DC supply with a typical current draw of 3 A and features built-in protection against overvoltage, reverse polarity, overtemperature, and open or short output loads. The unit is unconditionally stable and achieves typ. 30% efficiency at saturation. Housed in an aluminum alloy case measuring 9.85×7.3×6.4 inches with SMA female connectors on both ports, it includes no heat sink or fan. Baseplate temperature must not exceed +85 °C, and operating temperature ranges from -20 °C to +50 °C.
Mini-Circuits’ ZHL-5W-422+ is a Class A, high-power amplifier providing very wide bandwidth for a broad array of military, commercial and testing applications. Excellent flatness across its entire operating frequency range makes it ideal for systems where consistent performance across frequency is required. The amplifier provides high efficiency while withstanding open and short loads under full CW output power. The unit is unconditionally stable and features robust protection from high temperature extremes, overvoltages, and reverse polarity errors, making it suitable for demanding lab environments, satellite communications, line-of-sight links, defense applications, radio and television broadcast transmissions and more. Housed in an aluminum alloy case measuring 9.85x7.3x6.4”, it features SMA connectors at both ports and an optional heat sink and fan for cooling.
