500S1G2z5A
The Model 500S1G2z5A is a solid-state, self-contained, air-cooled, broadband amplifier designed for applications where instantaneous bandwidth, high gain, and linearity are required. Available in a stylish, contemporary cabinet for benchtop use or with the cabinet removed for rack mounting.
Overview
The Model 500S1G2z5A, when used with a sweep generator, will provide a minimum of 500 W of RF power. Included is a front panel gain control that permits the operator to conveniently set the desired output level and an internal automatic level control (ALC) with local or remote control of the ALC threshold. The 500S1G2z5A is protected from RF input overdrive by an RF input leveling circuit which controls the RF input level to the RF amplifier first stage when the RF input level is increased above 0dBm. The RF amplifier stages are protected from over-temperature by removing the DC voltage to them if an over-temperature condition occurs due to cooling blockage or fan failure. The Model 500S1G2z5A is equipped with a Digital Control Panel (DCP) which provides both local and remote control of the amplifier. The DCP uses a color LCD touch screen display to indicate the operating status and fault conditions if an overtemperature or power supply fault has occurred. The unit can be returned to operate when the condition has been cleared.
