Empower RF Systems developed this industry first scalable architecture – their demonstrations of our broadband, high power 1KW 1 to 3 GHz amplifier – as way to supply a large variety of output power levels to many different customers and applications, but with only one fundamental design effort from our engineering group. The benefit to you is reducing your lifetime capital spend on amplifiers since you buy only the power you need today and add power amplifier blocks later when your test or application requires more output power. Adding 3U power amplifier blocks is accomplished easily and simply with no factory return or special handling for phase matching required.
Speeding up your Radiated Immunity sweeps while using fewer external instruments with our ALC mode will save you money. You simply communicate a command to the amplifier for the desired output power required – never mind adjusting for the roller coaster output vs frequency curves of old technology amplifiers. Here’s how it works: set the sig gen frequency with power level +/-3dBm and leave it, tell amp the power out you want, read field probe V/m, calculate, tell the amp the power you want. Repeat. By instructing the amplifier to maintain a specific power level, the desired E field can be reached with an order of magnitude fewer incremental power steps.
