MITEQ and Mini-Circuits come to mind for octave and multi-octave band amps. HP (Agilent) makes the the 8348A covering 1 - 26.5 GHz around $14 K. The HP model has a 10 dB noise figure and 25 dB gain below 20 GHz. With MITEQ you can pick your noise figure and gain from a large variety of models. Mini-Circuits is the low price leader, I saw amps up to 8 GHz but you would need several models and the price will still likely be less than with the others. If you are using an HP8566 or similar model which uses harmonic mixing above 2 GHz then you need enough gain to push the signal above the degraded noise floor.
