Amplifier Research 40S1G4 is a solid state, self-contained, air-cooled,
broadband amplifier designed for applications where instantaneous
bandwidth, high gain and linearity are required. Housed in a stylish
contemporary cabinet, the unit is designed for benchtop use, but can be
removed from the cabinet for immediate equipment rack mounting.
The
40S1G4, when used with a sweep generator, will provide a minimum of 40
watts of RF power. Included is a front panel gain control which permits
the operator to conveniently set the desired output level.
The
40S1G4 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 digital display on the front panel to
indicate the operate status and fault conditions if an over-temperature
or power supply fault has occurred. The unit can be returned to operate
when the condition has been cleared.
All amplifier control
functions and status indications are available remotely in GPIB/IEEE-488
format, RS-232 hardwire and fiber optic, USB, and Ethernet. The bus
interface connector is located on the back panel and positive control of
local or remote operation is assured by a Local/Remote switch on the
front panel of the amplifier.
The low level of spurious signals
and linearity of the Model 40S1G4 make it ideal for use as a driver
amplifier in testing wireless and communication components and
subsystems. It can be used as a test instrument covering multiple
frequency bands and is suitable for a variety of communication
technologies such as CDMA, W-CDMA, TDMA, GSM etc. It is also suitable
for EMC Test applications where undistorted modulation envelopes are
desired.
