Amplifier Research 1000W1000F RF Amplifier, 80 MHz - 1000 MHz, 1000W

RENT Amplifier Research 1000W1000F

The Amplifier Research 1000W1000F RF Amplifier is a premium solution crafted for applications that demand instantaneous bandwidth and high gain. This self-contained, air-cooled, broadband amplifier features completely solid-state circuitry, ensuring reliable performance in rigorous environments. Its push-pull circuitry enhances stability and minimizes distortion, making it a top choice for RF testing.

Designed to operate seamlessly with an RF sweep generator, the 1000W1000F delivers a robust minimum output of 1000 watts swept power, perfect for a range of demanding applications.

Advanced Digital Control

The built-in Digital Control Panel (DCP) provides both local and remote operational capabilities. The intuitive control interface features a digital display, menu-assigned softkeys, a single rotary knob, and four dedicated switches (POWER, STANDBY, OPERATE, and FAULT/RESET). This allows for extensive management and status reporting, facilitating easy monitoring of Forward Power and Reflected Power, as well as control functions.

Key features of the DCP include:

• Gain Control
• Internal/External Automatic Level Control (ALC) with front panel ALC threshold adjustment
• Pulse input capability
• RF output level protection
• Integrated RF detector for self-testing and operational modes

Remote Control Flexibility

Full amplifier control functions and status indications are available remotely via GPIB/IEEE-488, RS-232, or fiber optic interfaces. A keylock on the front panel ensures positive control over local or remote operations.
