Supports high power test applications such as EMI, maximum power handling, and reliability testing.
38 dB gain allows the TVA-R5-13A+ to be driven to full output power with most commercially available
signal generators.
Protects signal sources from load, preventing potential damage and performance variation due to load
pulling.
Operating from a standard AC line power supply, the TVA-R5-13A+ can be powered from 110 to 220V,
making the amplifier versatile for use in most lab environments.
A built-in sensing feature signals the unit to power off when the amplifier reaches its maximum rated
operating temperature, preventing damage to the equipment and providing added reliability.
Meets conformity standards for sale within the European Economic Area (EEA).
