Amplifier Research 2500A225A RF Amplifier
The Amplifier Research 2500A225A is a cutting-edge, solid-state broadband amplifier engineered for demanding applications where instantaneous bandwidth, high gain, and exceptional linearity are critical. This amplifier operates efficiently with an advanced air-cooled design, complemented by a self-contained liquid cooling system, ensuring peak performance and reliability even in rigorous environments.
Featuring a contemporary enclosure, the Model 2500A225A is designed for effortless portability, making it an ideal choice for various professional settings. When paired with a sweep generator, this amplifier delivers a robust minimum output of 2500 watts of RF power, catering to a diverse range of needs. Its front panel gain control allows operators to precisely adjust the output level, optimizing performance in real-time.
The 2500A225A includes an integrated RF input leveling circuit that safeguards against input overdrive, actively regulating the RF input to the first amplifier stage when levels exceed 0 dBm. Furthermore, this amplifier incorporates an over-temperature protection mechanism that disconnects the DC voltage from the RF amplifier stages during thermal anomalies, such as cooling blockage or fan failure, ensuring longevity and safety in operation.
Equipped with a state-of-the-art Digital Control Panel (DCP), the Amplifier Research 2500A225A provides both local and remote operational capabilities. The intuitive color LCD touch screen display communicates current operational status and alerts users to any fault conditions, including over-temperature or power supply issues. Once resolved, the unit can promptly return to active service.
The included Remotes Package enhances user flexibility, featuring various communication protocols including GPIB/IEEE-488, RS-232, USB, fiber optic, and Ethernet. The rear panel bus interface connector combined with a Local/Remote keyswitch guarantees seamless control of the amplifier’s functionality. Additionally, a safety interlock circuit is included to ensure that the amplifier cannot operate without proper external safety switch connections; however, a jumper plug is available for alternate configurations when this feature is unnecessary.
