AmpliTech launches new pHEMT MMIC-based products
AmpliTech Group Inc of Hauppauge, NY, USA – which designs and makes signal-processing radio frequency (RF) microwave components for satellite communications, telecoms (5G & IoT), space, defense and quantum computing markets – has introduced its latest new product offerings, which include low-noise amplifiers, coaxial in-line LNAs, and coaxial in-line band-pass filters from the AmpliTech Inc division.
The new products are powered by pseudomorphic high-electron-mobility transistor (pHEMT) monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) technology developed by the AGMDC Division (AmpliTech Group Microwave Design Center). The performance, reliability, cost-efficiency and versatility of the new product lines complement the firm’s existing LNA product range. Available in a wide variety of SKUs to cater to diverse industry needs, the expanded product line is now officially launched and ready to receive customer orders.
- PHEMT MMIC technology LNAs: AmpliTech Inc’s new line of low-noise amplifiers introduces high-performance, high-reliability, lower-cost MMIC-based designs. The new products cover widely used standard frequency ranges of 2.0–4GHz, 4.0–8.0GHz and 2–18GHz, offering low noise figures and featuring proprietary low-noise MMIC technology by the AGMDC Division.
- Coaxial in-line low-noise amplifiers: A new product line of competitively priced low-noise amplifiers featuring AmpliTech’s MMIC technology from the AGMDC Division is said to offer very competitive gain performance, exceptionally low noise figures, and DC bias through the RF output. The coaxial in-line LNAs can be used for a wide range of design applications and are suitable for military and commercial applications when cost considerations are paramount. Their compact design and electrical performance make them suitable for RF design and experimentation and, like all the firm’s LNAs, they include a standard three-year warranty.
- Coaxial in-line band-pass filters: A new product line of competitively priced coaxial in-line band-pass filters covers industry-standard SATCOM frequency ranges, i.e. 17.7–21.2GHz, 10.7–12.9GHz and 7.1–8.5GHz, with 50Ω matched DC blocked RF ports. These products can be used for a wide range of design applications and are also suitable for military and commercial applications when cost considerations are paramount. They are also covered by AmpliTech’s standard three-year warranty. Their compact design and electrical performance suit RF design and experimentation.
“We introduced our new passive product line earlier this year, and now we are thrilled to introduce these new product lines to the market before year-end to meet customer expectations. This is part of our ongoing strategy to become a one-stop shop for exceptional performance RF products,” says AmpliTech Group’s CEO Fawad Maqbool. “We are very proud to see the results of our R&D investments becoming a reality; these new product lines all feature our own AmpliTech MMIC technology from our AGMDC Division,” he adds.
“In preparation and complementing our new product releases, we have updated our website content, www.amplitechinc.com, and coming live later this month, we expect to offer our customers a virtual e-commerce dashboard, enabling unparalleled access to purchase our newly released products, be it LNAs, passive products and MMIC product lines,” continues Maqbool. “As the RF industry continues to evolve, we believe that tools like our e-commerce page are pivotal in bringing availability of our products to our valued customers. We also plan for another critical new product release before the end of the year from our AGTGSS Division, that addresses 5G massive MIMO, 64T64R ORAN, CAT B radios, all featuring true G speeds (~1Gbps) becoming a reality and available for pre-order. This is another pivotal announcement stemming from our R&D investments that is intended to position us well for the years ahead.”
