Libera Distribution Amplifier general description:
The Libera Distribution Amplifier serves to split an input RF signal to multiple output RF signals at specified output power levels. Additionally, by applying multiplication and division stages it also enables to generate higher and sub harmonics coherent with the input RF signal. Both functionalities are performed with minimum added jitter and assuring long-term phase stability.
Libera Distribution Amplifier front and back panel:
Modular design of the Libera Distribution Amplifier supports up to 6 custom output modules with up to 4 RF outputs each. The output modules enable quick customization in terms of generation of coherent harmonics according to user’s needs.
Benefits:
- RF signals amplification and fan-out
- Generation of harmonics coherent with the input RF signal
- Temperature stabilization to guarantee long-term phase stability
Libera Distribution Amplifier Capabilities
| General product code | LMDA |
| Supported frequency ranges | 50 MHz - 3120 MHz |
| RF input | 1, SMA connector, 50 Ω |
| Nominal RF input power | + 15 dBm ± 1dB* |
| RF outputs | Up to 24, SMA connectors, 50 Ω |
| Nominal power per RF output | + 16 dBm ± 1dB |
| Added jitter (integrated from 10 Hz to 10 MHz) | <10 fs RMS ** |
| Operating temperature range | 20 - 27 °C |
