1.0 - 6.0 GHz, 100 Watt Solid State High Power Amplifier: AMP20085 Datasheet

The AMP20085 is a dual-band, small form factor rack-mounted amplifier designed for EMI/RFI, lab, CW/pulse, and communications applications. Covering 1–6 GHz (Band A) and 6–10 GHz (Band B), it delivers a minimum 100 W saturated output with instantaneous ultra-wide bandwidth using high-power Class A/AB linear devices. Fast band switching occurs in under 15 ms, enabling agile operation across diverse applications.

This amplifier provides 50 dB gain with 4 dB flatness, 20 dB adjustable gain, and features low harmonics (<–20 dBc) and low intermodulation distortion (–30 dBc typical). Input return loss is –10 dB max, and load VSWR protection ensures safe operation under challenging conditions. Optional sample ports, forward/reverse monitoring, and extensive remote interfaces, including LCD, Ethernet, USB, RS422/485, and GPIB, provide full control and real-time performance visibility.

Rugged and reliable, the AMP20085 operates in ambient temperatures from 0–50 °C, with storage capability from –40–85 °C, relative humidity up to 95%, and up to 3,000 m altitude. The unit measures 481 × 221 × 700 mm, weighs 30 kg, and features built-in variable-speed fan cooling. Optional digital monitoring and control (DMC) and safety interlocks enable precise, repeatable operation in demanding environments.

With its high efficiency, robust linearity, rapid band switching, and extensive monitoring, the AMP20085 is ideal for laboratory testing, communication systems, and high-fidelity CW/pulse applications, delivering reliable, mission-ready performance in compact, rugged form.
