RENT AMPLIFIER RESEARCH 80S1G4 (Call for Availability)
The Amplifier Research 80S1G4 is a high-performance solid-state, self-contained, air-cooled broadband amplifier, meticulously engineered for applications demanding instantaneous bandwidth, exceptional gain, and linearity. Encased in a sleek cabinet, it is designed for benchtop use but offers the versatility of being rack-mounted as well.
Features and Specifications of the Amplifier Research 80S1G4 include:
- Key Features:
- Delivers a minimum of 80 watts of RF power when utilized with a sweep generator.
- Front panel gain control for easy adjustment of output levels.
- RF input leveling circuit that:
- Regulates the RF input level to the first stage of the RF amplifier, preventing overdrive when the RF input level exceeds 0 dBm.
- Safeguards the amplifier from RF input overdrive conditions.
- Over-temperature protection mechanism that disconnects DC voltage to the RF amplifier stages in the event of cooling blockage or fan failure.
- Digital display on the front panel to indicate operating status and fault conditions such as over-temperature or power supply issues.
- Remote accessibility for all control functions and status indications via GPIB/IEEE-488 format, RS-232 hardwire, fiber optic, USB, and Ethernet.
- Bus interface connector located on the back panel for added connectivity.
- Local/Remote switch located on the front panel for effortless operation.
- Minimal spurious signals and enhanced linearity make this amplifier suitable for:
- Driver amplification in testing wireless and communication components and subsystems.
