Product Description
Amplifier Research (AR) 40T26G40A is a self contained, forced air cooled, broadband traveling wave tube (TWT) microwave amplifier designed for applications where wide instantaneous bandwidth, high gain and moderate power output are required. A reliable TWT provides a conservative 40 watts minimum at the amplifier output connector. Stated power specifications are at the fundamental frequency.
The AR 40T26G40A Amplifier’s front panel digital display shows forward and reflected output plus extensive system status information accessed through a series of menus via soft keys. Status indicators include power on, warm-up, standby, operate, faults, excess reflected power warning and remote. Standard features include a built-in IEEE-488 (GPIB) interface, 0dBm input, VSWR protection, gain control, RF output sample port, auto sleep, plus monitoring of TWT helix current, cathode voltage, collector voltage, heater current, heater voltage, baseplate temperature and cabinet temperature.
The modular design of the AR 40T26G40A Amplifier’s power supply and RF components allow for easy access and repair. Use of a switching mode power supply results in significant weight reduction.
Housed in a stylish contemporary cabinet, the AR 40T26G40A Amplifier is designed for bench top use but can be removed from the cabinet for rack mounting. The AR 40T26G40A Amplifier provides readily available RF power for a variety of applications in Test and Measurement, (including EMC RF susceptibility testing), Industrial and University Research and Development, and Service applications. These sub-octave amplifier features moderate harmonic content.
Features and Specifications of the AR 40T26G40A Amplifier include:
Power (fundamental), CW, @ Output Connector:
Nominal: 45 watts
Minimum: 40 watts
