Description

AKON has developed a new series of Log IF Amplifiers that operate over a variety of bands between 0.5 to 2 GHz frequency range. This new line offers excellent linearity over a dynamic logging range of dB and comes with a compact ruggedized package.

AKON products are designed to withstand the demanding environments of Military, Space and Industrial applications. Our compact and ruggedized products are designed to handle stringent mechanical shock/vibrations, temperature cycling, altitude and temperature extremes.

Reliability is a key feature of AKON products and to ensure this we perform ESS testing on all of our products. AKON offers an off-the-shelf screening option called its “H“ series, per Mil-STD-883 level B that is available on all of its RF & Microwave Components. For custom electrical, mechanical, and screening options, please contact AKON Sales: sales@akoninc.com (or) 408-432-8039.
