20 - 40 Watts CW 6 – 18 GHz Solid-State Amplifiers: 20S6G18-L and 40S6G18-L

AR’s new 20S6G18-L and 40S6G18-L are self-contained broadband, Class A solid-state amplifiers with a new internal liquid cooling design. The 20S6G18-L, when used with a sweep generator provides a minimum output power of 20 watts instantaneously from 6 to 18 GHz, while the 40S6G18-L version delivers 40 watts. Typical applications include radiated and conducted immunity testing, TWTA replacements, and EW.

These instruments are suitable for radiated and conducted immunity testing, TWTA replacements, and EW applications. The 20S6G18-L and 40S6G18-L are equipped with a Digital Control Panel (DCP) which provides both local and remote control of the amplifier. The amplifiers are designed to have low spurious signals, linearity and are extremely load tolerant.
