Matching amplifier to drive modulators for >100 Gbps serial
Follow on to the release of the 100G 2:1 multiplexer, the SHF 603 A, a new matching amplifier is now available to boost the output amplitude for modulation requiring more than 3.5 V single-ended amplitude level.
The SHF 804 M is housed in a very small package to maintain the high frequency performance level. This amplifier has been optimized in the time domain specifically for > 100 Gbps binary applications. Typical small signal bandwidth of this new module is 65 GHz and the gain is 23 dB. An output amplitude of > 3 V pp single-ended (6 V differential) can be realized when driven directly by the 100G multiplexer, rendering it possible to drive a suitable high performance modulator.
