Agilent / HP 8347A
RF Amplifier 100kHz-3GHz
Description
The Agilent/HP 8347A is a general-purpose broadband instrumentation amplifier.
The Agilent 8347A is capable of providing gain and power to overcome systematic RF losses, drive high-power devices, or improve measurement system performance.
Switching and signal routing in ATE systems, frequency conversion, and long transmission paths to remote devices like antennas on towers are examples of systematic power losses with more than 25 dB of gain, the HP 8347A can overcome such losses.
The internal leveling loop of 8347A can reduce mismatch and reflection effects in a system.
Many devices, like mixers, power amplifiers, and optical modulators, require high-power drive signals. These devices are often very level-sensitive as well. The flat, leveled, +20 dBm output power of the HP 8347A allows proper device operation or complete characterization.
EMI, surveillance, and other demanding small-signal measurements sometimes stretch the capabilities of even the best test equipment.
The HP 8347A can be used as a preamplifier to increase sensitivity in spectrum analysis and frequency counting applications, and can also extend dynamic range and increase low-level sweep speed in network analysis.
