The Model 500S1G6C 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 500 W across its operating bandwidth of 1.0 – 6.0 GHz. Protection from input overdrive beyond 0 dBm is provided and 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. A switch on the front panel manages the local and remote operations.
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 5G testing applications. Due to the Class A design, it is also suitable for EMC Test applications where continued operation into high VSWR loads, including open and short circuits, is required.
The export classification for this equipment is 3A001. These commodities, technology, or software are controlled for export in accordance with the U.S. Export Administration Regulations. Diversion, contrary to U.S. law, is prohibited.
