IFI T186-50 TWT RF Microwave Power Amplifier 6 GHz – 18 GHz 50W

Description

Instruments for Industry (IFI) T186-50 TWT Microwave Amplifier provides outstanding RF performance. IFI “T-50 Series” amplifiers are a mature design but incorporate the latest features with respect to control and monitoring. These RF Microwave TWT Amplifiers are “State of the Art”; have field proven reliability and unsurpassed performance as the best in the industry. These products are available in a wide range of frequency bands from 2.0 GHz – 18.0 GHz at 50 watts.

Operation safety and ease of use are paramount in IFI product designs. The IFI T-50 Series Amplifiers include a full complement of RF and hardware protection systems including high VSWR, over-current and voltage protection as well as redundant thermal and airflow sensors to prevent the TWTA (traveling Wave Tube Amplifier) from overheating. In addition, the T-50 series includes a state-of-the-art interface that is sophisticated, comprehensive, but yet simple to use.

IFI amplifiers feature modular construction and this concept of modular design minimizes internally produced EMI signal leakage and provides easy access for field service and rapid turnaround at depot level repair facilities.

The backlit LCD screen shows forward/reverse power indication, system status and self-diagnostic information. All the amplifier operating parameters are simultaneously available in the amplifier front panel display as well as over the remote bus. Selection switches allow you to switch the amplifier to the desired mode of operation for local control if the unit is not being operated remotely.

For computer automation both an RS-232 and IEEE-488 interface are included. To meet individual application needs, the T-50 Series amplifiers can be easily customized with harmonic filters or other options. With this capability and its reliable elegant design, the T-50 series amplifiers are the perfect amplifier for your microwave needs.
