S-Series Microwave Amplifiers

S-Series Microwave Amplifiers

  The AR RF/Microwave S-Series represents a premier line of microwave power amplifiers engineered for demanding laboratory and field environments. These broadband systems are optimized for EMC immunity testing, electronic warfare, and scientific research where consistent performance is critical. By utilizing a Class A design, the S-Series provides exceptional linearity and low noise figures, ensuring that the amplified signal remains true to the source even at high power levels. Constructed with a rugged, solid-state architecture, these amplifiers are specifically designed to handle 100% mismatch without damage or foldback. This high VSWR tolerance makes them ideal for driving non-50 Ω loads often encountered in antenna testing and complex RF setups. Furthermore, the series features built-in fault monitoring and protection circuits to safeguard the hardware during continuous operation, while the low acoustical noise design improves the working environment. The series offers extensive versatility through a wide range of models, including the 75S6G18C, 1000S1G6C, and the AR08G6 series, covering various frequency bands and power requirements from 20 W to 1000 W. Specific configurations such as the 450S6G18C (450 W, 6-18 GHz) and the 1000S1G6C (1000 W, 1-6 GHz) allow users to tailor the system to their exact testing needs. Integration into automated test systems is seamless thanks to comprehensive remote control options such as Ethernet, USB, and GPIB, backed by a modular design for easy long-term maintenance.
