SC2215 is a PXI RF amplifier. It is a 2-channel, single-slot programmable gain amplifier that can operate from 10MHz to 26.5GHz. This PXI Express module can achieve a maximum saturated output power of 30dBm at 6GHz and 25dBm at 26.5GHz. It features paths that support over 30dB of programmable gain, controllable in 0.5dB increments. Additionally, this PXI RF amplifier provides channels with low-noise performance that can be cascaded to provide up to 70dB of small signal gain. PXI RF amplifier offers fixed and/or configurable gain in PXI systems and allows direct paths to bypass gain stages. This functionality enhances testing and monitoring performance of compatible RF instruments, such as PXI vector signal analysers, by enabling you to shift the effective power reaching your instrument or device under test (DUT). Typical applications are high volume production test, benchtop designer verification testing (DVT), RF/microwave design and characterization, receiver characterization.
