iAMP300600043-R

20 W High Power Scalar / Vector Amplifier and Signal Generator, 300 … 6000 MHz

The iAMP300600043-R is a compact solid-state power amplifier with an integrated CW RF source and an optional pulse modulator. An RF input also allows the power amplification of externally generated RF signals. The amplifier can be used over a very wide bandwidth.

The user can select between a fixed gain and an automatic-level (ALC) controlled mode. In ALC mode, iAMP300600043-R directly and accurately provides the desired output power level with virtually no drift over time.

Forward and Reverse Power Measurement

Forward and reverse power is continuously monitored at the output. This allows the operator to monitor the return loss or voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) of the object being fed. Reflected power measurement serves also to protect the amplifier from excessive mismatch, which leads to automatic switch-off.

Rugged Design

The amplifier device comes with a high-quality aluminum housing that protects the hardware from mechanical damage and avoids EMI influences caused by radio signals coming from the environment. The RF connectors on the unit rear side are N female type.

Graphical User Interface (GUI)

The iAMP300600043-R can be remotely controlled via LAN or USB. An intuitive graphical user interface is accessible via standard internet browser and allows easy control and configuration of the device. Furthermore, remote control via SCPI-oriented ASCII string commands is possible, allowing the integration into automated processes.

Health Monitoring

iAMP300600043-R has an internal health status monitoring. The module temperatures and supply currents are monitored. The health status can be read out via the LAN and USB remote interfaces. In case of critical device states, error signaling is possible via an SNMPv2 trap, while the faulty status is also reflected in the color of the status LED.

The integrated thermal management keeps the noise from cooling fans automatically to minimum level. It also reduces primary power consumption depending on amplifier state. The unit is factory calibrated, traceable to recognized standards.

 

iAMP300600043-VR: Variant for Vector Signal Processing

VAR1: Vector Signal Generator

In the iAMP300600043-VR variant, the device integrates a software defined baseband generator and an I/Q modulator to generate high-power multi-standard vector signals for wireless, cellular, automotive and broadcast applications.

VAR2: S-Parameter Measurement Set

The S-Parameter measurement set offers the possibility of vectorial return loss (S11) and insertion loss (S21) measurement through a connected DUT. This function is ideal for characterizing measuring devices such as antennas. For S21 measurement, the device is equipped with an additional MEAS port.
