MODEL 100A250A M1, M2, M3, M4, M5 100 WATTS CW 10 kHz - 250 MHz 160 School House Road, Souderton, PA 18964-9990 USA Phone 215-723-8181*FAX 215-723-5688 The Model 100A250A amplifier is a self-contained, broadband unit designed for laboratory applications where instantaneous bandwidth, high gain and moderate power output are required. Utilization of push-pull MOSFET circuitry lowers distortion, improves stability and allows operation into any load impedance without damage. The Model 100A250A, when used with an RF sweep generator, will provide a minimum of 100 watts of swept power. There is a digital display on the front panel to indicate the operate status and fault conditions when an over temperature, power supply, or amplifier fault has occurred. The unit can be returned to operate when the condition has been cleared. The 100A250A includes digital control for both local and remote control of the amplifier. This 8-bit RISC microprocessor controlled board provides both IEEE-488 (GPIB) and asynchronous, full duplex RS-232 control of all amplifier functions. Housed in a stylish, contemporary enclosure (except M2, M3, M4), the Model 100A250A provides readily available RF Power for typical applications such as RF susceptibility testing, antenna and component testing, watt meter calibration, and use as a driver for higher power amplifiers. 100A250A TYPICAL POWER OUTPUT 200 LINEAR @ 3dB COMPRESSION WATTS 150 100 LINEAR @ 1dB COMPRESSION 50 0 0.001 0.01 0.1 1 10 FREQUENCY (MHz) 100 1000 REV011402 SPECIFICATIONS Model 100A250A RATED OUTPUT POWER.................................................................................... 100 watts INPUT FOR RATED OUTPUT............................................................................. 1.0 milliwatt maximum POWER OUTPUT @ 3dB compression Nominal.............................................................................................................. 157 watts Minimum ............................................................................................................ 125 watts .
