The ACST 1214B-8A Broadband AMC is a high-performance active multiplier chain (AMC) designed for broadband millimeter-wave signal generation and extension. It integrates ACST’s high-power broadband multiplier technology with a broadband amplifier chain to deliver stable and spectrally clean RF performance across the full WR-6.5 waveguide band. The module is fully self-contained in a compact metallic housing with integrated power supply, requiring only a single DC input for operation and enabling straightforward system integration in laboratory, radar, and measurement environments.
