A wideband, low-noise RF amplifier, operating in the 10 MHz – 6 GHz band. The device is equipped with a built-in battery that provides up to 6 hours of operation, and charging is carried out with a current of 210 mA. The module features good gain flatness in the 1–6 GHz range and a low noise level, which makes it ideal for mobile and measurement applications, e.g. as an external preamplifier for tinySA ULTRA spectrum analyzers in measurements up to 5.8 GHz.

Thanks to its high linearity parameters and overload resistance, the ZK06-BM can be used as a replacement for the QPL9503 and QPL9504 amplifiers.
