Amplifier Research 15S1G6 The Amplifier Research 15S1G6 is a solid state, self-contained, air-cooled, broadband amplifier designed for applications that require instantaneous bandwidth and high gain. It is housed in a stylish cabinet and designed for benchtop use, but can be removed for equipment rack mounting.Features and Specifications of the Amplifier Research 15S1G6 Amplifier include:
Features:
Provides a minimum of 15 watts of RF power when used with a sweep generator
Front panel gain control provides convenience of setting desired output level
RF input leveling circuit:
Protects the amplifier from RF input overdrive
Controls RF input level to the RF amplifier first stage when RF input level is increased above 0 dBm
RF amplifier stages are protected from over-temperature, due to cooling blockage or fan failure, by removing the DC voltage to them
Digital Display on front panel indicates operate status and fault conditions when over-temperature or power supply fault occurs
Digital control for both local and remote control of amplifier
Control functions and status indications are available remotely in GPIB/IEEE format, RS-232 hardwire and fiber optic, USB and Ethernet
Bus interface connector on back panel
Local/Remote switch on front panel assures positive control of local or remote operation
