SHF T854 A
← Back to the Amplifier Overview
The SHF T854 A is a broadband linear RF amplifier. With a 3 dB bandwidth ranging from 100 kHz to 100 GHz, it is ideally suited for PAM4 signals exceeding 200 Gbps (100 GBaud). Its two internal matched MMIC amplifier stages provide 22 dB of gain.

1.)
For the guaranteed values, please be referred to the data sheet.
2.)
These measurements have been performed with the courtesy and with the measurement equipment of Keysight Technologies Japan K.K. Therefore, they are typical and purely informative. SHF can only verify and confirm the data shown in the official data sheet.
The SHF T854 A amplifier has been fed with a signal from a Keysight M8199B 256GSa/s AWG (SSPRQ Pattern). A Keysight DCA N1000A with Precision-Timebase & 122 GHz Sampling Module (N1046A) took the waveforms after an “in-system” calibration of AWG and Scope.

Keysight’s Frequency Domain Interleaving Unit (M8159A) has been used to extend the AWG outlined in footnote 2.
