ETL Systems Alto ALT-G1S-C5-114-S5S5 C-Band Amplifier 850–4200 MHz

ETL Systems Alto ALT-G1S-C5-114-S5S5 C-Band Amplifier 850–4200 MHz

The ETL Systems Alto ALT-G1S-C5-114-S5S5 is a broadband C-band amplifier module operating from 850–4200 MHz. It combines low noise, high linearity, and adjustable gain for satellite communications and RF distribution applications.

Manual gain adjustment provides a nominal 0–38 dB range in 0.25 dB steps. At maximum gain, the module delivers a noise figure of 6 dB typ., output P1dB of +16 dBm typ., and OIP3 of +26 dBm typ.

Each hot-swappable module occupies one slot in a compatible GENUS 1U chassis. Local touchscreen and remote monitoring and control are provided through the selected chassis, allowing the amplifier to be integrated with other compatible RF modules.
