Power amp targets automotive test
Staff -- Test & Measurement World, 4/1/2004
The Ophir RF broadband power amplifier targets immunity and automotive testing by providing more than 500 W of power in the frequency range 200 MHz to 1000 MHz. The amplifier offers harmonic rejection, placing harmonics more than 30 dBc below the fundamental, and input and output RF protection. The input protection prevents overdrive for signals as strong as 13 dBm. On the output side, the unit has high-load VSWR detection that will give a warning at a user-set reflected power level. The unit also offers built-in test diagnostics that monitors the amplifier's health to the module level. Ophir RF, Los Angeles, CA. 310-306-5556; www.ophirrf.com.
