The 125S1G6C from AR RF/Microwave Instrumentation is a Solid-State Power Amplifier (SSPA) that operates from 1 to 6 GHz. It delivers an output power of 150 W with a small signal gain of more than 55 dB. This class-A SSPA is a self-contained, broadband solution that has been designed for applications where a combination of instantaneous bandwidth, high gain, and linearity are required. It has low-level spurious signals and high linearity that make this amplifier ideal for use as a driver in testing wireless and communication components and subsystems. The amplifier is equally suitable for EMC test applications where continued operation into high VSWR loads including open-circuit and short-circuit is required.
The 125S1G6C includes protection from input over-drive beyond 0 dBm along with failure conditions including over-temperature and power supply faults. It integrates a front panel display that provides operational status and fault indications. This SSPA can be remotely controlled using GPIB/IEEE-488, RS-232, fiber-optics, serial, USB, or Ethernet ports. It is available in an 8U rack-mount enclosure that measures 19.0 x 14.0 x 25.7 inches with N-type (female) connectors and is ideal for use in antenna and component testing, radiated and conducted EMC testing, and EMC (military, aviation, automotive, and commercial) applications.
This power amplifier has a 3A001 export classification. It requires an AC supply of 100-240 V and consumes less than 1150 W of power.
