The ACST 1216D-4A Broadband AMC is a high-performance active multiplier chain designed for millimeter-wave and sub-terahertz signal generation. It converts a low-frequency microwave input into a stable, high-frequency output in the WR-3/WR-15 band, delivering consistent performance across a wide operating range. The module is built in a compact, shielded metallic housing with standard RF and DC interfaces for easy integration into laboratory and system-level setups.
