INTRODUCTION
A.H. Systems' Preamplifier line is an
excellent choice with a rugged
design, no hassles with soldering
your own power leads and they
improve overall system sensitivity
by at least 20 dB. All of the
Preamplifiers come with a 12-volt
(or 15-volt) DC regulated power
source. A low voltage indicator
confidently allows you to power the
amplifier with your own external 12volt DC battery. This makes it a
convenient choice for field
measurements.
INTENDED PURPOSES
This equipment is intended for
general laboratory use in a wide
variety of industrial and scientific
applications and is designed to be
Model: PAM-0118
FEATURES:
Wide Bandwidth (20 MHz – 18 GHz)
Low Noise, High Gain
Individually Calibrated
Low VSWR
Improve Overall System Sensitivity
Rugged Design
used in the process of generating,
controlling and measuring high
levels of electromagnetic Radio
Frequency (RF) energy. Therefore,
the output of the amplifier must be
connected to an appropriate load
such as an antenna, fieldgenerating device or receiver. It is
the responsibility of the user to
assure that the device is operated in
a location which will control the
radiated energy such that it will not
cause injury and will not violate
regulatory levels of electromagnetic
interference.
HAZARDOUS RF VOLTAGES
The RF output connector should be
connected to a load before AC
power is applied to the amplifier.
