Amplifier Research 1000TP1G2Z5 Amplifier :  The Amplifier Research 1000TP1G2z5 is a self contained, forced air cooled, broadband traveling wave tube (TWT) microwave amplifier designed for pulse applications at low duty factors where instantaneous bandwidth and high gain are required. A reliable TWT provides a conservative 1000 watts minimum peak RF pulse power at the amplifier output connector. Stated power specifications are at the fundamental frequency. The amplifier’s front panel digital display shows forward and reflected average power output or forward and reflected peak power, 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 average or peak reflected power warning and remote. Standard features include a built-in IEEE-488 (GPIB) interface, 0dBm input, TTL Gating, VSWR protection, gain control, RF output sample ports, auto sleep, plus monitoring of TWT helix cur, cathode voltage, collector voltage, heater cur, heater voltage, baseplate temperature and cabinet temperature.Modular design of the power supply and RF components allow for easy access and repair. Use of switching mode power supplies results in significant weight reduction. Housed in a stylish contemporary cabinet, the amplifier provides readily available pulsed RF power for a variety of applications in Test and Measurement, (including EMC RF pulse susceptibility testing), Industrial and University Research and Development, and Service applications. AR also offers a broad range of amplifiers for CW (Continuous Wave) applications.  Functions and Specifications of the Amplifier Research 1000TP1G2Z5 Amplifier Include: POWER (Fundamental), Peak Pulse, @ Output:Nominal:1,700 wattsMinimum: 1,000 watts FLATNESS: ±6 dB maximum FREQUENCY RESPONSE: 1-2.5 GHz INPUT FOR RATED OUTPUT: 1.0 milliwatt maximum GAIN (at maximum setting): 60 dB minimum GAIN ADJUSTMENT (continuous range): 35 dB minimum INPUT IMPEDANCE: 50 ohms, VSWR 2.5:1 maximum OUTPUT IMPEDANCE: 50 ohms, VSWR 2.5:1 typical MISMATCH TOLERANCE: Output pulse width foldback protection atpeak reflected power exceeding 700 watts.
