The Amplifier Research Model 100W1000M1 is a fully self-contained, air-cooled, solid-state broadband amplifier, specifically engineered for applications requiring wide instantaneous bandwidth and high gain. It employs push-pull circuitry in all high-power stages to reduce distortion and enhance stability. When paired with an RF sweep generator, the amplifier delivers a minimum of 100 watts of sweep power.
Key Features:
Front Panel Power Meter – Allows real-time monitoring of forward and reflected power.
Automatic Level Control (ALC) – Can be managed via internal circuitry or an external input, with front panel adjustment for setting the ALC threshold.
Pulse Input Capability – Supports pulsed RF input signals.
RF Output Level Protection – Prevents damage from excessive output levels.
Built-in RF Detector – Provides an output signal for use in self-testing or operational feedback.
Manual Gain Control – A front panel knob allows manual adjustment of amplifier gain.
Remote Control Options – Basic operational functions can be controlled remotely.
Comprehensive Protection – Includes DC voltage sensing and individual fusing of all output modules for enhanced safety and reliability.
Encased in a modern, rack-mountable enclosure, the Model 100W1000M1 delivers reliable RF power for a variety of applications, including radiated immunity testing, antenna and component testing, wattmeter calibration, and as a driver stage for higher power RF amplifiers.
