SA1036

Broadband solid-state power amplifier engineered for RF test and EMC applications. This self-contained, air-cooled SSPA delivers reliable CW and pulsed output from 20 MHz up to 12 GHz with an adjustable output power range of approximately 20 W to 4,000 W when driven by a sweep or signal generator.

Key features

• Wide instantaneous bandwidth: 20 MHz–12 GHz for single-amplifier broadband coverage.
• High output power: nominally 20 W minimum up to 4,000 W maximum (CW and pulsed operation supported).
• Flexible mechanical formats: supplied in a benchtop cabinet or without the cabinet for rack mounting in test racks.
• Front-panel gain control for convenient manual output-level setting.
• Front-panel LCD status display that reports operating state and fault conditions (examples: RF input overdrive, over-temperature, over-current).
• Remote control options (available): GPIB (IEEE-488), RS-232 and Ethernet (LAN) for integration with automated test systems.
• Built-in protections and fault reporting to safeguard the amplifier and connected equipment.
• Quality assured under ISO 9001 processes.

Typical applications

• EMC/EMI immunity and emissions testing
• RF component and subsystem test benches
• Production test for communications and radar equipment
• Laboratory and research installations requiring broadband high-power amplification

Notes for buyers

• Remote-control interfaces are optional — confirm required remote protocols when ordering.
• Specify preferred mechanical configuration (benchtop cabinet or rack-mount module) to ensure compatibility with your test rack or bench setup.
• For system integration, confirm drive-source requirements and desired safety/protection options with your test-engineering team.
