Amplifier Research 5000A225A Amplifier for Rent
Experience unmatched performance with the Amplifier Research 5000A225A, a self-contained, air-cooled, broadband amplifier engineered specifically for applications demanding instantaneous bandwidth and high gain. This cutting-edge amplifier utilizes a push-pull MOSFET circuitry in all high-power stages, significantly reducing distortion while enhancing stability.
Equipped with a sophisticated Digital Control Panel (DCP), the 5000A225A offers both local and remote control capabilities. The DCP features a 3¾-inch diagonal graphic display and intuitive menu-assigned softkeys, complemented by a single rotary knob for extensive operational control and real-time status reporting. The display showcases essential information, including Forward Power, Reflected Power, and internal amplifier status, while also integrating a gain control and an internal automatic level control (ALC) for optimal performance.
Remote control functions are accessible via GPIB/IEEE-488 format, RS-232, fiber optic, and USB, ensuring versatile compatibility. A keylock on the front panel guarantees secure management of local or remote operations. The amplifier's high-efficiency, power factor corrected switching power supplies deliver reliable power to all internal sub-assemblies.
Encased in a sleek, contemporary enclosure, the Amplifier Research 5000A225A is your ideal solution for a variety of applications, including RF susceptibility testing, antenna and component testing, watt meter calibration, particle accelerators, plasma generation, communications, and serving as a driver for higher power amplifiers. The design includes four 6-inch casters for effortless mobility.
