AR100EP1000 Series
The AR100EP1000 Series is a range of self-contained, air-cooled, Class AB solid-state power amplifiers designed for pulsed applications requiring wide instantaneous bandwidth and high gain. Covering 100 to 1000 MHz, the series offers power levels from 2.0 kW to 270 kW for EMC testing (HIRF & HERO) , radar simulation and scientific applications.
Each amplifier incorporates a Digital Control Panel with a colour LCD touchscreen and rotary control, providing local or remote operation, forward and reflected power monitoring, amplifier status information and gain adjustment. Built-in monitoring, fault logging and protection help safeguard the amplifier against conditions such as overheating and power-supply faults.
Overview
The AR100EP1000 Series provides high-power pulsed RF performance across 100 to 1000 MHz. The modular architecture supports straightforward maintenance and service, while degradation mode helps maintain operation if an individual amplifier module becomes unavailable. Remote control and status monitoring are available through Ethernet, USB, GPIB/IEEE-488, fibre-optic serial and RS-232 interfaces.
