Control Your Amplifier Remotely
As technology evolves, electronic devices continue to take on a more mobile and virtual nature. While RF and microwave amplifiers themselves may never become truly “mobile,” the way we control them can be. AR’s new ampwebwARe gives you the capability to monitor and control your amplifier remotely without needing any software of your own. The software allows for remote communication to AR amplifiers through any device connected to the same network as the amplifier via an embedded webpage.

Thermopad©
Smiths Interconnect’s Thermopad® (Patent #5,332,981) is a totally passive, surface mountable temperature variable attenuator. It requires no bias or control voltages and does not generate distortion. The Thermopad® can be used in place of a standard chip attenuator to combine level setting or buffering and temperature compensation in a single chip design. This reduces component count, increases reliability and lowers costs. Applications include power amplifiers, mixers, MMIC amplifiers, directional couplers and diode detectors.
