Waveguide Amplifiers
WAVEGUIDE AMPLIFIERS
VDI offers waveguide amplifiers for various applications. Waveguide amplifiers are able to boost a small input RF signal to a large output RF signal. For sample data on waveguide amplifiers, please refer to the Waveguide Amplifier Product Manual (also located under Resources). Please contact VDI for more information.
