Amplifier Research 50/40S1G18 Solid State Amplifier 0.7 GHz – 18 GHz

Description

Amplifier Research 50/40S1G18 is a portable, self-contained, air-cooled, dual-band, broadband, completely solid-state amplifier designed for applications where instantaneous bandwidth, high gain and linearity are required.

The Model 50/40S1G18 is equipped with a Digital Control Panel (DCP) which provides both local and remote control of the amplifier. The digital display on the front panel indicates control status and reports of internal amplifier status. All amplifier control functions and status indications are available remotely in GPIB/IEEE-488 format, RS-232 hardwire and fiber optic, USB, and Ethernet.

This Model is designed to have low spurious signals, linearity and is extremely load tolerant which enables it to be used in many RF applications such as: RF susceptibility testing, antenna/component testing, and communication technology testing. It can be used as test instruments covering multiple frequency bands and are suitable for a variety of communication technologies such as CDMA, W-CDMA, TDMA, GSM, UWB, WiMAX etc.

Features

  • Digital display
  • Linear and load tolerant
  • Combines two amplifiers into one unit
  • Mismatch Tolerant providing 100% of rated power without foldback
  • Flexibility to be upgraded to higher power levels for each specific frequency range
  • Will operate without damage or oscillation with any magnitude and phase of source and load impedance
  • Capability to reproduce AM, FM or Pulse Modulation appearing on the input signal
