Amplifier Research 40S6G18A The Amplifier Research 40S6G18A is a portable, self-contained, air-cooled, broadband, solid-state amplifier designed for applications that require instantaneous bandwidth, high gain and linearity. Features and Specifications of the Amplifier Research 40S6G18A Amplifier include:
Features:
Provides a minimum of 40 watts of RF power instantaneously from 6 to 18 GHz when used with a sweep generator
Digital Control Panel (DCP):
Provides both local and remote control of the amplifier
Uses a graphic Liquid Crystal Display:
Provides gain settings
Provides reports of internal amplifier status
Uses menu assigned softkeys
Uses a single rotary knob
Uses a dedicated on/off switch
Offers extensive control and status reporting capability
Special features:
Gain control
Input overdrive protection
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 connection back panel
Keylock on front panel assures positive control of local or remote operation
Low spurious signals, linearity, and load tolerance make it ideal for these various uses:
RF susceptibility testing
Antenna/component testing
Communication technology testing
As a test instrument covering multiple frequency bands
Suitable for communication technologies including CDMA, W-CDMA, TDMA, GSM, UWB, WiMAX etc.
