Multiband Power Amplifiers
These multiband, 250 W power amplifiers offer an alternative source of variable RF power for more efficient electromagnetic interference (EMI)/electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) applications in the 1 to 18 GHz frequency range. The units feature multistage collector traveling-wave tubes, making them more efficient and less expensive. In addition, the units feature advanced SWR protection circuitry and comply with all standard international safety and EMC requirements.
