Mini-Circuits ZHL-16W-43+ offers high power (16W) with
rugged reliability over a broad frequency range from 1800
to 4000 MHz. This model includes temperature sensing
circuits for automatic shutdown and output load protection to
operate into a short or an open load making it ideal for use
in laboratory or field applications.

Key Features
Feature
Advantages
Offering a unique combination of output power over a broad frequency range, the ZHL-16W-43+ is
ideal for laboratory and other test applications which require a high degree of flexibility to delivery
power over a wide array of applications including
• PCS, UMTS, LTE and wireless
• WiMAX
• Radar
• Microwave radio and ISM
With 1.3:1 output VSWR, the ZHL-16W-43+ is designed for use in driving circuits with a variety of
impedances and still provide consistent, reliable output power.
The ZHL-16W-43+ includes internal temperature monitoring circuits to automatically shut down the
amplifier in the event of over temperature operation. Set for approximately +85°C shutdown (with
auto recovery at 70°C), this feature ensures that users who have difficulty in controlling their ther-
mal environment or need to operate in a remote mode and cannot monitor the amplifier real time,
can function with the security that a thermal run-away condition will be avoided through this self
management feature. Furthermore, the ZHL-16W-43+ provides a TTL output to indicate thermal
shutdown for remote automated systems.
A high root cause for damage to power amplifiers is the operation into highly reflective loads. The
ZHL-16W-43+ power amplifier includes circuits to enable the amplifier to operate without damage
in the presence of an open or short over all phases.
