SMC Solid State Amplifiers

80 – 1000 MHz • 10 Watts to 3000 Watts, Minimum Rated Power

Specifications subject to change without notice Page 1 ds-smc-series rev-a-1/11/2011

Instruments for Industry, SMC-Series Amplifiers provide outstanding RF performance. These products are available in a wide range of power levels from 10 watts to 3000 watts in the 80 – 1000MHz frequency range. These state-of-the-art solid-state power amplifiers are specifically designed for laboratory and all testing applications.

IFI RF amplifiers are very conservatively designed to operate below maximum ratings for ruggedness and long term reliability. Sixth generation LDMOS Transistors provide reliable brute-power performance at frequencies up to 1000MHz.

Our RF power amplifiers feature heavy-duty individually shielded aluminum housings at the module level. This concept of a shielded modular design minimizes internally produced EMI signal leakage and provides easy access for field service and rapid turnaround at depot level repair facilities.

From the ground up, the “SMC-SERIES” products are structurally engineered to withstand operation in mechanically hostile environments. Ruggedized versions are available for applications that will be exposed to very harsh environments.
