1.0 Introduction
The ETS-Lindgren Model 8000-003 RF Power Amplifier is capable of supplying a
minimum of 500 watts into a 50 ohm load over the frequency range 80MHz to
1000MHz. The amplifier is designed with sufficient gain so that it may be used with
normal output levels of signal sources.
A safety interlock on the rear panel is also provided, which will mute the
The unit is powered by a switched mode power supply for high efficiency,
A front panel fault indicator is provided to indicate over-temperature, loss of
amplifier when grounded.
high power factor, and a wide voltage range operation. The unit is air cooled
with integral fans and is protected against faulty cooling by excess
temperature sensing.
air flow, or fan failure, and any potential imbalance between the 250W
amplifier units.
The amplifier is designed for rugged operation into a variety of loads and is primarily
intended for use as an RF power source for EMC susceptibility testing, but is also
applicable to other systems requiring a wide-band linear amplifier.
This amplifier is designated as Professional Equipment and should not be operated
by untrained staff. As this product has the capability to generate high levels of RF
energy it is not intended for use in a residential environment.
Standard Configuration
The 8000-003 amplifier system comes already assembled and connected in a
19-inch 25U rack.
The N type input and 7/16 output connectors are located on the rear panel.
