Description
The Model 20S6G18A is a portable, selfcontained, air-cooled, broadband, Class A solid-state amplifier designed for applications where instantaneous bandwidth, high gain and linearity are required. The Model 20S6G18A, when used with a sweep generator, will provide a minimum of 20 watts of RF power instantaneously from 6 to 18 GHz. The 20 watt model can be expanded to 40 watts inside the same cabinet. Amplifier Research Model 20S6G18A Digital Control Panel The Model 20S6G18A is equipped with a Digital Control Panel (DCP) which provides both local and remote control of the amplifier. The DCP uses a graphic Liquid Crystal Display, menu assigned softkeys, a single rotary knob, and a dedicated power on/off switch to offer extensive control and status reporting capability. The display provides gain setting and reports of internal amplifier status. Special features include a gain control and input overdrive protection. 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 buss interface connector is located on the back panel and positive control of local or remote operation is assured by a keylock on the front panel of the amplifier. The Model 20S6G18A is designed to have low spurious signals, linearity and is extremely load tolerant which enables it to be used in many RF applications such as: RF susceptibility testing, antenna/component testing, and communication technology testing. 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, UWB, WiMAX etc. The export classification for this equipment is 3A001.
