W-Series RF Amplifiers


The AR RF/Microwave W-Series represents a premier line of broadband RF power amplifiers specifically engineered for high-intensity radiated immunity testing. These Class A solid-state amplifiers deliver exceptional linearity and low distortion across the critical 80 MHz to 1 GHz frequency band. They are the industry standard for meeting rigorous EMC requirements including EN 61000-4-3, ISO, and various MIL-STD specifications.

Built with a rugged modular architecture, the W-Series is designed to withstand 100% mismatch without damage, making it ideal for use with EMC antennas in chamber environments. The integrated touch screen interface provides intuitive local control and diagnostics, while multiple remote interfaces like Ethernet and GPIB allow for seamless laboratory automation. This scalable design ensures that the amplifiers can handle both current and future power requirements with high reliability.

The series offers an extensive range of power levels to suit any application, starting from the compact 50W1000D (50 W) up to the massive 10000W1000A (10,000 W). Intermediate models such as the 500W1000C and 1000W1000J provide versatile steps for specific testing needs in telecom and aerospace sectors. Each unit is backed by a 3-year warranty and the global support network of AMETEK and AR RF/Microwave.
