- Designed to boost the output of RF tracking generators and other weak signal sources.
- Suitable as a driver amplifier for larger DC-coupled amplifiers in measurement chains.
- Compact amplifier with standard BNC-female RF connectors for easy integration.
- USB-C powered with a simple indicator LED for power status.
- Robust and portable, suitable for test benches and EMC pre-compliance setups.
TBCS101-TGA
DC-coupled Low Noise Amplifier
The Tekbox TBCS101-TGA is a DC-coupled low-noise amplifier designed to boost low-level signals from DC up to tens of MHz, making it especially useful as a driver amplifier for high-power DC-coupled RF amplifiers and to enhance the output of tracking generator signals in measurement receivers. It’s ideal for use in EMC test setups and lab signal conditioning.
