AMPLIFIER RESEARCH 15T4G18A
The Amplifier Research 15T4G18A Amplifier is a self contained, forced air cooled, broadband traveling wave tube (TWT) microwave
amplifier designed for applications where low harmonic content is required in sub-band ranges and where
wide instantaneous bandwidth, high gain and moderate power output are required. A reliable micro TWT
provides a conservative 15 watts minimum at the amplifier output connector, 10 watts in low harmonic modes.
Stated power specifications are at the fundamental frequency.
The 15T4G18A Amplifier's front panel digital display shows forward and reflected output plus extensive system status
information accessed through a series of menus via soft keys. Status indicators include power on, warm-up,
standby, operate, faults, excess reflected power warning and remote. Standard features include a built-in IEEE-
488 (GPIB) interface, 0dBm input, VSWR protection, gain control, RF output sample port, plus monitoring of
TWT helix current, cathode voltage, collector voltage, heater current, heater voltage, baseplate temperature
and cabinet temperature. Modular design of the power supply and RF components allow for easy access and
repair. Use of a switching mode power supply results in significant weight reduction.
Housed in a stylish contemporary cabinet, this unit is designed for benchtop use, but can be removed from the
cabinet for rack mounting. The AR 15T4G18A provides readily available RF power for a variety of
applications in Test and Measurement (including EMC RF susceptibility testing), industrial and university
research and development, and service applications.
