Amplifier Research 250S6G18C

The Model 250S6G18C is a solid-state, Class A design, self-contained, air-cooled, broadband power amplifier designed for applications where instantaneous bandwidth, high gain, and linearity are required. It will provide a minimum of 250 W across its operating bandwidth of 6.0 - 12.0 GHz and 200 W from 12.0 - 18.0 GHz. Protection from input overdrive beyond 0 dBm is provided, as well as protection from various failure conditions, including over-temperature and power supply faults.
A front panel display indicates the operational status and fault conditions. All amplifier control functions and status indications are available remotely using GPIB/IEEE-488, RS-232, fiber-optic serial, USB, or Ethernet. Interface connectors are located on the back panel. Local and remote operation is managed by a switch on the front panel.
This is a multiple-purpose amplifier. The low level of spurious signals and linearity make it ideal for use as a driver in testing wireless and communication components and subsystems. By covering such a wide bandwidth, it is suitable for a variety of communication technologies such as CDMA, W-CDMA, TDMA, GSM, UWB, WiMAX, etc.
