The CAEN Mod. A1423B is an inverting Wideband Amplifier designed for fast detectors, as SiPMs and Diamonds, having a bandwidth of ~ 1.5 GHz (-3dB). The gain ranges from +18 dB to +54 dB and it is locally controlled through a rotary switch. The amplifier accepts both positive and negative input pulses and can provide an energy output in the ± 1V range across a 50 Ω load. The amplifier is AC decoupled with an input and output impedance of 50 Ω (SWR < 1.5:1) and can carry a bias voltage for the detector up to ± 750 V. The A1423B is implemented in a shielded box and features SMA connectors for the HV BIAS, IN/DETECTOR and OUTPUT.
