The 20S6G18C from AR RF/Microwave Instrumentation is a Solid-State Amplifier that operates from 6.0 to 18.0 GHz. It delivers an output power of more than 20 W with a small signal gain of 47 dB. This Class-A amplifier supports AM, FM, and pulse modulation techniques and has harmonic distortions of -25 dBc. It provides protection from input overdrive beyond 0 dBm and from failure conditions including over-temperature and power supply faults. The amplifier has low spurious signal levels and high linearity, making it suitable for use as a driver in testing wireless and communication components and subsystems. It has a modular design that enables easy maintenance and service.
The 20S6G18C has a front panel display that provides operational status and fault condition indications. It has a switch on the front panel to manage the local and remote-control operations and can be remotely controlled using GPIB/IEEE-488, RS-232, fiber-optic serial, USB, or Ethernet interfaces. It is available in a 4U rack-mount enclosure that measures 48.3 x 18.8 x 63.8 cm with N-type (female) connectors and is ideal for radiated and conducted EMC testing (military, aviation, automotive, commercial), antenna and component testing, CDMA, W-CDMA, TDMA, GSM, WiMAX, UWB, and general-purpose applications.
The amplifier requires an AC supply from 100 to 240 V and consumes less than 600 W of power. It has a 3A001 export classification.
