RFversterkers
RFversterkere are electronic devices that amplify radio-frequency signals, increasing their power for transmission or processing. They operate in RF bands from kilohertz to tens of gigahertz and are built around active devices such as transistors (BJT, FET, GaN, LDMOS). They can be discrete components, integrated circuits (MMICs), or modular units, and typically include input and output matching networks to present a defined impedance (commonly 50 ohms) to adjacent stages.
Different kinds of RFversterkere include low-noise amplifiers (LNAs) that boost weak received signals with minimal added
Key performance metrics include gain (dB), output power, bandwidth, linearity (IMD, IIP3, P1dB), noise figure (for
Common applications span wireless base stations, mobile devices, satellite links, radar, broadcast transmitters, and test equipment.
