Broadband Amplifier With 2.5GHz to 6GHz Frequency Range
Rohde & Schwarz’s BBA150 broadband amplifier is now also available with a frequency range from 2.5GHz to 6GHz. The new frequency range is an addition to the already existing range from 0.8GHz to 3GHz. The amplifiers, which have been optimised for high frequencies, deliver high output power, and are still compact and lightweight.
The modularity of the amplifiers makes it possible to configure complete systems flexibly to meet user requirements. The amplifier design yields up to 200W of output power in just four height units. The broadband amplifiers feature outstanding mismatch tolerance and can handle both short-circuiting at the RF end and an open RF output. This reduces both downtime and costs.
With the new amplifier and the tried and tested R&S BBA100 broadband amplifier family, Rohde & Schwarz now has amplifier systems from 9kHz to 6GHz. The two amplifiers allow EMS measurements in line with major standards in all commercial and industrial environments, including EMS measurements according to the EN 61000-4-3 basic standard. The amplifiers are also ideal for applications such as component testing, quality assurance, research, engineering physics, communications and radar. They can be used with amplitude, frequency, phase and pulse modulation.
The R&S BBA150 family offers models for two combinable frequency ranges: from 0.8GHz to 3GHz with power classes between 30W and 200W, and from 2.5GHz to 6GHz with power classes of 15W, 30W, 60W and 100W.
