Amplifier Research 200S1G6 BROADBAND AMPLIFIER The Amplifier Research 200S1G6 is a solid state, Class A design, self-contained, air-cooled, broadband amplifier designed for applications where instantaneous bandwidth, high gain and linearity are required. Housed in a stylish contemporary cabinet, the unit is designed for benchtop use, but can be removed from the cabinet for immediate equipment rack mounting. Features and Specifications of the AR 200S1G6 Amplifier include:Features:
When used with a sweep generator, provides a minimum of 200 watts of RF power
Front panel gain control allows convenience of setting desired output level
Protected from RF input overdrive by an RF input leveling circuit which controls the RF input level to the RF amplifier first stage when the RF input level is increased above 0 dBm
Stages are protected from over-temperature by removing the DC voltage to them if an over-temperature condition occurs due to cooling blockage or fan failure
Digital display on front panel indicates operate status and fault conditions if an over-temperature or power supply fault has occurred
Unit can be returned to operate when the condition has been cleared
All control functions and status indications are available remotely in GPIB/IEEE-488 format, RS-232 hardwire and fiber optic, USB and Ethernet
Bus interface connector is located on back panel
Local/Remote switch on front panel assures postive control of local or remote operation
Applications:
Low level of spurious signals and linearity make amplifier ideal for use as a driver amplifier in testing wireless and communication components and subsystems
Can be used as a test instrument covering multiple frequency bands
Suitable for a variety of communication technologies including CDMA, W-CDMA, TDMA and GSM
Suitable for EMC Test application where undistorted modulation envelopes are desired
