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.
