High Frequency Wide bandwith Amplifier Modules

Our range of quality high frequency wide bandwidth amplifiers from Spectrum are in a neat robust modular case and ideal for use as MHz pre-amplifiers for the Spectrum signal capture cards or any similar high-speed applications where very small micro or millivolt signals require high gain amplification. All versions have the feature of a manually adjustable voltage output offset together with exceptional dynamic low noise performance.
  • Very wide bandwidth from Hz to MHz
  • Ampilifer modules with upper bandwidth (-3dB) limit of 10, 200 and 500 MHz
  • Amplification of x10 (20dB), x100 (40dB) and x1000 (60dB)
  • 50 ohm or 1 MOhm input impedance - (see data table below)
  • Switchable AC/DC input coupling and dual gain settings on most models
  • Manual output offset easily adjustable
  • Standard sturdy BNC in/out signal cable connectors
  • Suitable for all Spectrum A/D signal capture cards or similar amplification applications

SPA.PW1-230External power supply for all SPA amplifiers, 230VAC. Type C euro to UK adaptor connection provided
Amplifier module system, package contents Delivery: The amplifier module requires a 230VAC to +/- 15VDC power supply and power connection cables, this should be ordered at the same time (part SPA.PW1-230). The AC power cable is terminated in a type C euro connector, however for UK use we automatically provide a neat converter socket (pictured). We can supply a 120VAC power supply with US/Japan connector as substitute.
