Amplifier Research 60S1G4A The Amplifier Research 60S1G4A is a solid state, self-contained, air-cooled, broadband amplifier designed for applications where instantaneous bandwidth, high gain, and linearity are needed. It is housed in a stylish cabinet designed for benchtop use which can also be removed to allow for rack mounting as well. Features and Specifications of the Amplifier Research 60S1G4A include:
  • Features:
    • Provides a minimum of 60 watts of RF power when used with a sweep generator
    • Front panel gain control allows the convenience of setting desired output level
    • RF input leveling circuit:
      • Controls the RF input level to the RF amplifier first stage when the RF input level is increased above 0 dBm
      • Protects the amplifier from RF input overdrive
    • RF amplifier 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 the front panel indicates the operate status and fault conditions when an over-temperature or power supply fault has occurred
    • 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 back panel
    • Local/Remote switch on front panel assures positive control of local or remote operation
