Warranty

Electronics & Innovation Ltd., (hereafter E&I) warrants for the period of three
years from the date of original delivery, each unit to be free of defects in
materials and workmanship. For the period of 36 months E&I will, at its option,
repair or replace defective parts so as to render the unit fully operational such
that it performs according to the original specifications; free of charge to the
original purchaser.

Should warranty service be required, the unit must be returned to E&I, freight
cost to be borne by the owner. If, in our opinion, the unit has been damaged by
use outside the limits prescribed in this manual or by accident, then the warranty

Chapter 1 Introduction

The Model 601L is a general purpose broadband amplifier capable of more than
1W of linear power output when driven by any laboratory signal or sweep
generator from 0.8 to 1000 MHz

An ultra linear Class A design, the 601L will "boost" the output of any signal
source by at least a flat 40 dB (±2.5 dB) and provide its full forward output power
into any load impedance (from an open to a short circuit). Its output is a faithful
reproduction of the input waveform for AM, FM, SSB, CATV, pulse and other
complex modulations. Specified only over the 0.5 to 1000 MHz frequency range,
full power output is typically 2 watts in saturation.

The use of RF bipolar transistors with microstrip circuitry ensures that the 603L is
both a reliable and rugged source of RF power. An integral power supply and
cooling system permit operation over a wide range of temperature and AC line
conditions.

1.2 INSTRUMENTATION IDENTIFICATION

Each amplifier is identified by a serial number tag on the back panel of the unit.
Both the model number and the serial number should be quoted to identify a
specific unit.
