MODEL 10,000LP
10,000 WATTS PULSE
9 MHz - 180 MHz
The Model 10,000LP is a broadband amplifier designed for applications requiring instantaneous
bandwidth, high gain, and linear, high power pulse output. It employs the latest design technology in
its all-solid-state, low power stages and vacuum tube driver and final amplifiers. A continuously
variable input attenuator permits the operator to adjust the output level as desired. Housed in a stylish
contemporary enclosure, the model 10,000LP is smaller than competitive equipment with similar
power levels. The final amplifier stage is operated in a gated mode to improve efficiency. In
operation, the amplifier requires a gate input pulse preceding the RF input pulse. A rear panel
connector enables remote control of POWER, STANDBY, OPERATE, and PULSE functions. When
connected to model CP2001 or CP3000, these functions are respectively controlled by TTL level
signals or IEEE-488 bus.
