DR-AN-10-HO10 GHz Analog High Output Voltage Driver

Photline Driver

l i g h t . a u g m e n t e d

The Photline DR-AN-10-HO is a wideband RF amplifier module designed for analog applications at frequencies up to 10 GHz.

The Photline DR-AN-10-HO is characterized by a low Noise Figure and a linear transfer function whose 1 dB compression point is above 23 dBm. It exhibits flat Group Delay and Gain curves with reduced ripple over the entire bandwidth.

The Photline DR-AN-10-HO operates from a single power supply for safety and ease of use, and offers gain control over 3 dB. It comes in a compact 52 mm x 25.6 mm housing with K type RF connectors (compatible SMA) and with an optional heat sink.

This amplifier module is ideally suited to drive optical modulators for analog applications.
