Overview
The ZKL-2RS+ is a medium power coaxial amplifier designed for a wide range of frequencies, from 10 to 2500 MHz. It is characterized by a high Third Order Intercept Point (IP3) of +31 dBm(typical), emphasizing its capacity to maintain linearity in the presence of strong signals. Additionally, it features a low noise figure of approximately 5 dB(typical), which makes it suitable for use in communication systems where signal clarity is essential.
Applications
The versatility of the ZKL-2RS+ allows for its use in a variety of applications, including:
- Communication systems
- Cellular PCS
- GSM/ISM amplification
Electrical Specifications and Features
A summary of the ZKL-2RS+ amplifier’s electrical specifications is as follows:
- Frequency Range: 10 to 2500 MHz
- Gain: 21.5 dB(typical)
- Maximum Power Output: +13 dBm
- Dynamic Range: 13 dB
- VSWR: 1.4:1 max
