Hi,

Any idea how i can increase the max output source of 9310 to +30 dbm?

From the spec shows -127 to +13 dBm output level range (maximum +20 dBm settable), i need +30 dBm.

Adding amplifier at RF output will help?

Please advise.

Hello -

Yes, the N9310A only supports up to +20 dBm power output. You may need the external amplifier. Please be careful of the possible reverse power in this case, which may cause damage to the RF front end of the signal source. DC blocker and RF isolator between the signal source and amplifier would be recommended based on your application.

I hope this was helpful -

Hi,

Thanks for the info.

Is there any amplifier you can recommend?

I have checked from the A-site on Distribution Amplifiers.

it is stated the compatible instruments used are ESG and PSG, but not for N9310A.

And the HMMC-5027 2-26.5 GHz Medium Power Amplifier are overkill for N9310A.

Can you show me the link to the suitable amplifiers for N9310A?

Thank you very much.

Hello Again -

The amplifier which is compatible to ESG/PSG should be also compatible to N9310A. For the frequency range, please go to www.agilent.com/find/amplifiers to find the suitable solution from Agilent, there are solutions from <3 GHz to >40 GHz.
