Overview
Includes
- Power cable
- Calibration certificate
The Amplifier Research Model 5S1G4M1 is a solid state, self-contained, air-cooled, broadband amplifier designed for applications where instantaneous bandwidth and high gain are required. This unit is designed for benchtop use, but can be removed from the cabinet for immediate equipment rack mounting.
The 5SG4M1, when used with a sweep generator, will provide a minimum of 5 watts of RF power output from 0.8 to 3.0 GHz. Included is a front panel gain control which permits the operator to set the desired output level. The 5S1G4M1 contains a switching power supply. The input voltage range to the supply is 90-132 or 180-264 VAC, 50/60 Hz selected automatically. The operator does not have to switch or change anything when changing the AC input voltage.
The 5S1G4M1 is protected from RF input overdrive by an RF input leveling circuit which controls the RF input level to the RF amplifier first stage when the RF input level is increased above 0 dBm. The RF Amplifier stages are protected from over temperature by removing the DC voltage to them if an over temperature condition occurs due to cooling blockage or fan failure. There is a fault lamp on the rear panel to indicate an over temperature or power supply fault condition. The unit can be returned to operate when the condition has been cleared.
Applications
Typical applications include:
- Antenna and component testing
- Wattmeter calibration
- EMI susceptibility testing
- Use as a driver for frequency multipliers and high power amplifiers
