Two broadband amplifiers designed for military use have been released in Australia.
The so-called super broadband devices produced by AETHERCOMM are designed to function on a band between 20 MHz and 1000 MHz and are both compact and rugged enough for military purposes.
Both units also have high-speed dc blanking; however, one model has a saturated power rating of 25 watts while the other operates at 50-100 watts.
