MKU PA 3440 A
Linear Power Amplifier
3400 ... 3460 MHz • 40 W
This new power amplifier using LD-MOSFET technology provides high linearity and high efficiency (up to 31 %). Since the amplifier is thermally very stable and highly linear, it can be used for all operating modes. Typical applications are DAB / COFDM / QPSK / DATV /DVB-S / DVB-T.
