Description
Model 9160 Signal Amplifier for High Current and Wide Bandwidth Applications
The Model 9160 Signal Amplifier is engineered to deliver high voltage, high current amplification with exceptional bandwidth performance. With a 45MHz bandwidth and fast transition time under 10ns, this amplifier ensures accurate waveform reproduction even in fast pulse and high frequency environments.
Designed as a single channel DC coupled wideband amplifier, the Model 9160 provides up to 34Vp-p into 50Ω loads and supports peak output currents up to 1A. This enables continuous power output of up to 10W, making it suitable for applications that demand both voltage swing and strong current drive.
Performance and Power
High current capability is one of the strongest advantages of the Model 9160 Signal Amplifier. With 1A peak output current, it easily drives demanding loads such as piezo devices, transducers, and MEMS components. The amplifier maintains low distortion across its operating range, preserving signal integrity in sensitive measurement setups.
The standard configuration offers x10 gain with 34Vp-p maximum output into 50Ω. Custom gain options such as x15 or x20 can be ordered to meet specific application needs. Input impedance can be configured to 50Ω, 75Ω, or 1MΩ, allowing compatibility with a wide range of signal sources.
Flexible Configuration
The Model 9160 Signal Amplifier provides three input paths for maximum flexibility:
- Main input on the front panel for primary signal connection
- Auxiliary input on the rear panel for signal summation
- DC offset input on the rear panel for output level adjustment
Coupling options include DC or AC, enabling the amplifier to adapt to various system requirements. Its compact 2U half 19 inch rack metal case allows stacking with other instruments or mounting in a standard 19 inch rack using optional rack kits.
This amplifier is ideal for piezo electronics, transducer characterization, MEMS research, general electronics testing, and scientific laboratories that require reliable high bandwidth and high current amplification.
