The ZVA-183WA-S+ is a coaxial wideband RF amplifier operating from 100 MHz to 18 GHz with SMA female connectors, designed for applications such as test and measurement, 5G, and aerospace systems. It provides a typical output power of +27 dBm at 1 dB compression and +30 dBm at saturation, with a gain of 20 to 25 dB across the band and a noise figure of 4 dB typical. The device operates from a +12 VDC supply, drawing up to 950 mA at saturation, and includes over-voltage, reverse-voltage, and inrush-current protection. It features an input VSWR of 1.3:1 max and output VSWR of 1.5:1 max. The case style is AV2554-3 with a heatsink, weighing 455 grams. Operating temperature ranges from -40 °C to +60 °C ambient and +85 °C baseplate.
Mini-Circuits’ ZVA-183WA(X)-S+ is a coaxial, wideband RF amplifier capable of operating from 100 MHz to 18 GHz. The design can deliver output power of +30 dBm typical at saturation and +27 dBm typical at 1 dB compression, making it an ideal choice for applications requiring a wideband driver amplifier. With a low noise figure of 4 dB typical across a majority of the band, it can be used in test setups that require higher dynamic range. The amplifier incorporates several DC-protection features such as over-voltage, reverse voltage, and in-rush current, that protect the amplifier from damage if mishandled during operation.
