Amplifier Research 525S1G4 The Amplifier Research 525S1G4 is a portable, self-contained, air-cooled, broadband, and completely solid-state ampifier designed for applications that require instantaneous bandwidth, high gain, and linearity. Its push-pull circuitry is utilized in all power stages lowering distortion and improving stability.Features and Specifications of the Amplifier Research 525S1G4 Amplifier include:
Features:
Provides a minimum of 525 watts of RF power when used with a sweep generator
Provides gain control and RF output level protection
Digital Control Panel (DCP):
Provides both local and remote control of the amplifier
Uses a graphic liquid crystal display:
Provides operational presentation of Forward Power and Reflected Power
Provides control status
Provides reports of internal amplifier status
Uses menu assigned softkeys
Uses a single rotary knob
Uses four dedicated switches: POWER, STANDBY, OPERATE, and FAULT/RESET
Offers extensive control and status reporting capability
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 on the back panel
Local/Remote switch on front panel provides positive control of local or remote operation
Low level of spurious signals and linearity make it ideal for these various uses:
As a driver amplifier in testing wireless and communication components and subsystems
As a test instrument covering multiple frequency bands
For communication technologies including CDMA, W-CDMA, TDMA, GSM, etc.
For EMC Test applications where undistorted modulation envelopes are needed
