Product Overview
Rent Amplifier Research 40T18G40 TWT Amplifier (Call for Availability):
The Amplifier Research 40T18G40 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 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. Modular design of the 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 unit is designed for benchtop use but can be removed from the cabinet for rack mounting. The Amplifier Research 40T18G40 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.
Functions and Specifications of the Amplifier Research 40T18G40 TWT Amplifier Includes:
POWER (fundamental), CW @ OUTPUT CONNECTOR:
Nominal: 70 watts
Minimum: 40 watts
Linear @ 1dB Compression: 10 watts minimum
FLATNESS: ±10 dB maximum
FREQUENCY RESPONSE: 18–40 GHz instantaneously
INPUT FOR RATED OUTPUT: 1.0 milliwatt maximum
GAIN (at maximum setting): 46 dB minimum
GAIN ADJUSTMENT (continuous range): 35 dB minimum
INPUT IMPEDANCE: 50 ohms, VSWR 2.0:1 maximum
OUTPUT IMPEDANCE: 50 ohms, VSWR 2.5:1 typical
MISMATCH TOLERANCE: Output power foldback protection at
reflected power exceeding 10 watts. Will operate without
damage or oscillation with any magni- tude and phase of
source and load impedance. May oscillate with unshielded
open due to coupling to in- put. Should not be tested with
connector off.
MODULATION CAPABILITY: Will faithfully reproduce AM, FM, or
pulse modulation appearing on the input signal. AM peak
envelope power limited to specified power.
