Amplifier Research 30S1G6 Microwave Amplifier, 1 - 6 GHz, 30W

Amplifier Research 30S1G6 Microwave Amplifier

The Amplifier Research Model 30S1G6 is a top-tier solid-state, Class A broadband amplifier tailored for scenarios demanding instantaneous bandwidth and high gain. With its sleek, contemporary cabinet design, it is suited for both benchtop use and easy rack mounting. When paired with a sweep generator, this robust amplifier guarantees a minimum output of 30 watts of RF power.

Key Features:

• Front Panel Gain Control: Easily adjust the output level according to your needs.
• Overdrive Protection: An RF input leveling circuit safeguards against RF input overdrive, ensuring the longevity of the amplifier's first-stage components.
• Over-Temperature Protection: The amplifier's stages have built-in safeguards that cut off DC voltage in the event of cooling blockages or fan malfunctions.
• Digital Display: A user-friendly front panel display offers real-time operate status and alerts for any fault conditions.
• Local and Remote Control: The amplifier is equipped with digital control capabilities for seamless operation both locally and remotely. All control functions and status indications can be accessed via GPIB/IEEE-488, RS-232, USB, and Ethernet.
