Single Channel Strip Amplifiers
XBS
Series
Single Channel Strip Amplifiers
The Pico Macom XBS family of single channel professional grade amplifiers
covers all bands including VHF, UHF, and FM frequencies. Automatic gain
control (AGC) circuitry provides a constant output power level independent of
the input level. This "gain-in-reserve" feature is ideally suited for off-air
reception applications since it provides for consistent headend performance
across a wide range of input levels. These low noise and high gain ampli-
fiers provide excellent signal quality with low distortion for trouble-free
operation over wide ambient temperature ranges. Externally adjustable
input and output filter controls allow easy lab re-tuning of an amplifier to
any channel within band including PAL format channels. A precision volt-
age regulator eliminates performance changes due to loading or power line
fluctuations. Pico Macom backs up this product with its industry leading
5-year limited warranty.
