Single bias supply operation considerably eases the design challenge of the customer by removing the need for a complex biasing network to manage the bias sequencing. The iT2004 is designed for high output power applications, while the iT2003 supports medium output power applications.
The iT2004 offers a saturated output power of 29dBm up to 7 GHz, more than 26 dBm up to 20 GHz. Average gain of 10 dB with flatness of +/-1 dB is offered up to 20 GHz. DC power consumption is as low as 3.0 W and the input/output ports are AC coupled.
The iT2003 offers a saturated output power close to 27dBm up to 8 GHz and more than 25 dBm up to 16 GHz. The average gain is 15 dB. DC power consumption is as low as 1.76 W and the input/output ports are AC coupled.
“The launch of these two new products is just the first step GigOptix is taking to revitalize and strengthen our RF portfolio and to re-engage with customers in the RF field,” states Andrea Betti-Berutto, chief technology officer at GigOptix. “The iT2003 and iT2004 are following our RF products ‘best in class’ tradition by offering the best power efficiency of any single bias broadband amplifier in the market today.”
