Mini-circuits ZRON-8G

The Mini-Circuits ZRON-8G+ is a medium-power gain block amplifier delivering 20 dB minimum gain across 2 to 8 GHz with ±1.5 dB flatness. Unconditionally stable, it achieves +10 dBm typical output power at 1 dB compression and +30 dBm third-order intercept point, making it suitable for linear wideband applications requiring low noise performance. The 6.0 dB typical noise figure and 2.0:1 VSWR at both ports ensure clean signal amplification in demanding RF chains.
