IFI T4026-10

The IFI (Instruments for Industry) T4026-10 TWT Microwave Amplifier provides fantasitc RF performance. The T4026-10 Amplifier incorporates the latest features with respect to control and monitoring. The T4026-10 has field proven reliability histroy and unsurpassed performance as one of the best in the industry.  The T4026-10 has a frequency range of 26.5 GHz to 40 GHz, with 10 Watts of available power.

Operation safety and ease of use are paramount in IFI product designs. The IFI T4026 Series include a full complement of RF and hardware protection systems including high VSWR, over-cur and voltage protection as well as redundant thermal and airflow sensors to prevent the TWT from overheating. In addition, the T4026-10 includes a state-of-the-art interface that is sophisticated, comprehensive, yet simple to use. The IFI T4026 series of amplifiers feature modular construction and this concept of modular design minimizes internally produced EMI signal leakage and provides easy access for field service and rapid turnaround at depot level repair facilities.

The backlit LCD screen shows forward/reverse power indication, system status and self-diagnostic information. All the amplifier operating parameters are simultaneously available in the amplifier front panel display as well as over the remote bus. Selection switches allow you to switch the amplifier to the desired mode of operation for local control if the unit is not being operated remotely.

For computer automation both an RS-232 and IEEE-488 interface are included. To meet individual application needs, the T4026 Series amplifiers can be easily customized with harmonic filters or other options.
