PAM-1826

The AH Systems PAM-1826 is a high-frequency low-noise preamplifier covering 18 GHz to 26.5 GHz, designed specifically to match the SAS-572 Standard Gain Horn Antenna. With a typical gain of 32 dB and a minimum of 29 dB, it improves overall system sensitivity by at least 29 dB — making it a focused solution for upper microwave band testing where sensitivity at high frequencies is critical.

Key specifications include a noise figure of 2.5 dB, gain flatness of ±2.1 dB, a typical VSWR of less than 1.7:1, and an output power of +6 dBm at 1 dB compression. The unit uses SMA female connectors and is individually calibrated with a gain calibration certificate included. Recommended accessories include the SAS-572 horn antenna and AH Systems low-loss microwave cables (SAC-26G-3 and SAC-26G-0.5).
