50 W Power Amplifier for Conducted Immunity
- ▸ ACS-230-50W broadband RF power amplifier, 150 kHz–230 MHz — a 50-watt RF amplifier built for IEC 61000-4-6 conducted RF immunity testing in compliance and pre-compliance EMC labs.
- ▸ 50 W rated output for demanding immunity test levels — delivers a robust 50 W into a 2:1 VSWR load, providing ample headroom to reach required test levels with a compliant CDN or coupling device.
- ▸ High 47 dB ±2 dB gain with excellent linearity — needs only a 0 dBm input for rated output, ensuring strong, consistent signal amplification for precise EMC measurements.
- ▸ Automatic safety shutoff for system protection — shutdown activates if output exceeds 50 W or load VSWR rises above 7, protecting the amplifier and connected equipment.
- ▸ Versatile AM, FM, and pulse modulation support — accepts a range of input modulations for flexible integration into different RF immunity test setups.
- ▸ Low −17 dBc harmonic distortion — clean signal delivery at full 50 W output reduces interference and improves measurement accuracy.
- ▸ Front-panel LCD and USB automation interface — the LCD shows current, temperature, RF power, VSWR, and gain; USB connectivity enables software-based test automation.
- ▸ 4U rack-mount chassis with forced-air cooling and three-year warranty — the 19-inch rackmount design keeps the unit cool during extended testing and is backed by a full 3-year warranty.
