Carl, is correct!
It's amazing how far microwave amplifiers and such have progressed in the
last 10 years. Just 5 or 6 years ago, no one was doing 1 watt amplifiers
in industry standard plastic packages at 2 GHz. Nowadays, they are
everywhere and they are CHEAP too. It really is amazing.
I envy you, Carl. Microwave systems are incredibly fun to play with.
Great stuff. My first job was working on Gunn diode oscillators. But I
digress....they aren't amplifiers. :-)
