3 Amplifiers High-Power Narrow Band Amplifiers Mercury s family of amplifiers cover most communication and radar bands, as well as other popular frequency bands. Internally matched GaAs FET devices are frequently used and provide cost effective solutions with excellent linearity. Higher frequencies utilize in-house proprietary technology to deliver as much as 10 watts at 34 GHz. All amplifiers use in-house proprietary technology in the driver and preamplifier stages, providing wide flexibility in the selection of gain and generally allowing a somewhat wider band than specified for the internally matched device. It also provides desirable characteristics, such as the combination of low noise with high-power.

The modular construction of these amplifiers, combined with the tunability of the basic modules, gives rise to an enormous variety. The list of basic models is far from exhaustive and should be considered an indication of capability. Most requests can be fulfilled with a combination of existing modules, thus offering a customized amplifier at the same price and delivery as a standard model.
