Solid-State Amplifier

Amplifier Research has announced the 100S1G4 solid-state microwave amplifier. It provides 100W minimum power from 0.8 to 4.2 GHz, a range used often in PCS, and other handheld wireless test applications.

Local and remote control of the 100S1G4 is available through its Digital Control Panel (DCP). Other DCP features include menu assigned softkeys, a single rotary knob, four dedicated switches, gain control, internal and external automatic level control, pulse input capability, and RF output level protection.

An IEEE-488 interface is built in. There is also an internal RF detector that works in self-testing and operational modes.
