Product Overview
The 650-A900-00 preamplifier is designed for use with the WCA200 series Wireless Communication Analyzer, the RSA200, RSA2200A, RSA3300A,
RSA3400A series Real-Time Spectrum Analyzer.
The preamplifier has 100 MHz to 3 GHz frequency range and 20 dB gain. Power is
supplied to the preamplifier through the PRE AMP power connector on the front
panel of the WCA200, RSA200, RSA2200A, RSA3300A, or RSA3400A series
instrument. The WCA200, RSA3300A, and RSA3400A series have the power
connector on standard. The RSA200 and RSA2200A series need to add the power
connector with Option 06 and Option 2A, respectively.
Frequency characteristics and gain compensation data are provided with each instrument. The data is provided as 3.5 inch floppy disk, you can install the data to the
WCA200, RSA200, RSA2200A, RSA3300A, and RSA3400A series. The instrument displays adjusted values, you need no additional data conversion.

Installation
Installation
NOTE. For the WCA230/280 and RSA230/280, the installation function is only
available for the instrument with firmware version 1.28 and above.
Do the following steps to perform the amplitude correction by using the provided
floppy disk. For detailed information on amplitude correction, refer to the user
manual for the WCA200, RSA200, RSA2200A,RSA3300A or RSA3400A series.
The 650-A900-00 preamplifier is designed to connect directly into the instrument
as shown in the figure below (the RSA200 and RSA2200A series need to add the
power connector with Option 06 and Option 2A, respectively).
1. Power off the instrument.
2. Install the 650-A900-00 preamplifier to the WCA200/RSA200/RSA2200A
/RSA3300A/RSA3400A series input connector. Turn the N-connector ring
when you install the preamplifier.
NOTE. Do not turn the body of preamplifier when you install it to the instrument. Take care not to place the connector too tight. Do not put a stress on the
amplifier body.
3. Attach the amplifier power cord.
4. Power on the instrument.
