Description
Model A10160 Signal Amplifier for High Current Wideband Applications
The Model A10160 Signal Amplifier is engineered to provide strong voltage swing and reliable current drive in high frequency environments. With a bandwidth of 45MHz and transition time under 10ns, this amplifier ensures precise waveform reproduction for both pulse and continuous signal applications.
Delivering up to 34Vp-p into 50Ω, the Model A10160 Signal Amplifier supports peak output currents of 1A and continuous current up to 750mA. This enables continuous output power of 7.5W and peak power reaching 10W. Such performance makes it highly suitable for demanding loads that require both voltage and current strength.
Performance Enhancement
The Model A10160 Signal Amplifier was developed as a snap on accessory for Tabor WaveXciter series and WS8351 or WS8352 models. These signal sources typically provide up to 4Vp-p output. When paired with the Model A10160 Signal Amplifier, they can deliver 45MHz signals at 34Vp-p into 50Ω loads, significantly extending their application range.
The DC coupled design ensures accurate amplification of both AC and DC components. Low distortion performance maintains waveform quality, which is critical in precision measurement and research environments.
Flexible Configuration
The standard configuration provides a fixed gain of x10 with 34Vp-p maximum output into 50Ω. Custom gain options such as x15 or x20 can be specified at the time of purchase to meet specific system requirements.
Although optimized for compatibility with Tabor signal generators, the Model A10160 Signal Amplifier also operates seamlessly as a standalone unit with virtually any signal source. Its compact size and all metal enclosure allow easy integration into bench setups or system racks.
Target applications include piezo electronics, transducer characterization, MEMS testing, general electronics development, and scientific research that requires high voltage and high current amplification.
