Description
Overview
The Amplifier Research 200S1G6 is a self-contained, air-cooled broadband RF amplifier using Class A solid-state design for applications requiring instantaneous bandwidth, high gain, and linear amplification. The amplifier is housed in a contemporary cabinet for benchtop operation but can be removed for rack mounting when needed.
Key Features
- Solid-state Class A design for linear amplification and minimal distortion
- Rated power output: 200 watts minimum across 0.7–6.0 GHz band
- Front-panel gain control with continuous adjustment capability
- RF input leveling circuit prevents overdrive and protects amplifier stages
- Over-temperature protection automatically removes DC voltage to stages when thermal limits are exceeded
- Digital display shows operational status and fault indicators
- Multiple remote control interfaces: GPIB/IEEE-488, RS-232 hardwire, fiber optic, USB 2.0, and Ethernet
- Mismatch tolerance: operates safely at 100% rated power with any source and load impedance
- Forced-air self-contained cooling system
Applications
- Driver amplifier for wireless and communication component testing
- Multi-band RF test and measurement instrument
- CDMA, W-CDMA, TDMA, and GSM wireless system testing
- EMC and EMI testing with undistorted modulation envelopes
