The Agilent/Keysight 83020A is a broadband microwave system amplifier engineered for automated test equipment and RF/microwave applications from 2 GHz to 26.5 GHz. It delivers 30 dB typical gain to 20 GHz and 27 dB typical gain to 26.5 GHz, with output power exceeding 27 dBm at 1 dB compression to 20 GHz and 23 dBm to 26.5 GHz. The compact form factor and low-profile heat sink enable direct insertion into existing system architectures without redesign.
