1000 Watts CW 0.8 – 4.2 GHz Solid-State Amplifier: 1000S1G4

1000 Watts CW 0.8 – 4.2 GHz Solid-State Amplifier: 1000S1G4

AR’s 1000S1G4 is a solid-sate amplifier covering the 0.8 – 4.2 GHz frequency range. When used with a sweep generator, it provides a minimum of 1000 watts RF power. Like most of AR’s amplifiers, this model is ideal for applications that call for instantaneous bandwidth, high linearity, and high gain.

An included Digital Control Panel (DCP) provides both local and remote control of the amplifier. The DCP uses a color LCD touch screen and a single rotary knob to offer status reporting and control capability.  The low level of spurious signals and linearity make it ideal for use as a driver amplifier in testing wireless and communication components and subsystems, communication technologies, and EMC test applications.
