Introduction The Model 1421 and 1422 Broadband Amplifiers are designed specifically for use as low-noise amplifiers following a high-speed photodetector such as the Model Series 14XX and 10XX. These amplifiers are specified over a 50-MHz-to-20-GHz bandwidth and have good small-signal step response as well.
Operation The Model 1421 and 1422 Broadband Amplifiers are housed in a compact unit whose input and output connectors are Wiltron K-connectors. A female connector is used on the input to mate with the male connector used on the output of New Focus’...
