The Amplifier Research (AR) 500T1G2 is a broadband traveling wave tube (TWT) amplifier, providing 500 watts CW output across 1–2.5 GHz with 57 dB gain. It features forced air cooling, a digital display for forward/reflected power and status, plus IEEE-488 (GPIB) interface. Specifications include VSWR protection, gain adjustment, RF output sample port, and monitoring of helix current, voltages, currents, and temperatures. With typical -4 dBc harmonic distortion and support for AM, FM, and pulse modulation, it delivers reliable RF performance.
Ideal for EMC susceptibility testing, industrial applications, university research, and service labs, the AR 500T1G2 offers modular design and a switching mode power supply, reducing weight and allowing easy servicing. It is suitable for benchtop or rack-mounted operation.
