The ACST 1231A-72A High-Power AMC is a high-performance active multiplication chain module designed for sub-terahertz signal generation in the 1230 to 1410 GHz frequency range. Based on ACST’s high-power multiplier technology, it delivers stable output power, excellent spectral purity, and wideband operation for demanding millimeter-wave applications such as radar systems, laboratory instrumentation, and heterodyne receiver front-ends. The module features a fully integrated design with built-in power supply and requires only a single DC input for operation, making it compact and easy to integrate into RF systems.
