The Model 500W1000A is a self-contained, air-cooled, broadband , completely solid-state amplifier designed for applications where instantaneous bandwidth and high gain are required. Push-pull circuitry is utilized in all high power stages in the interest of lowering distortion and improving stability. RATED POWER OUTPUT: 525 watts minimum INPUT FOR RATED OUTPUT: 1.0 milliwatt maximum POWER OUTPUT @ 3dB COMPRESSION Nominal: 612 watts Minimum: 450 watts POWER OUTPUT @ 1dB COMPRESSION Nominal: 515 watts Minimum: 350 watts FLATNESS ± 2.0 dB maximum ± 0.8 dB with internal leveling FREQUENCY RESPONSE: 80–1000 MHz instantaneously GAIN (at maximum setting): 57 dB minimum GAIN ADJUSTMENT (continuous range): 18 dB minimum INPUT IMPEDANCE: 50 ohms, VSWR 2.0:1 maximum OUTPUT IMPEDANCE: 50 ohms nominal MISMATCH TOLERANCE 100% of rated power without foldback up to 6.0:1 mismatch above which may limit to 250 watts reflected power. Will operate without damage or oscillation with any magnitude and phase of source and load impedance MODULATION CAPABILITY: Will faithfully reproduce AM, FM, or Pulse modulation appearing on the input signal. HARMONIC DISTORTION: Minus 20 dBc maximum at 400 watts THIRD ORDER INTERCEPT POINT: 63 dBm typical RF POWER METER: 600 watts full scale PRIMARY POWER (specify) 200 - 250 VAC, 50/60 Hz, single phase 6500 VA maximum CONNECTORS RF Input: See Model Configuration RF Output: See Model Configuration External Leveling Inputs: Type BNC female on front panel Pulse Modulation Input: Type BNC female on front panel Detected RF Output: Type BNC female on front panel Safety Interlock: 15 pin subminiature D on rear panel Remote Computer Interface: 24 Pin female IEEE-488 (GPIB) and RS-232 connector on rear panel Remote Computer Interface (fiber-optic): ST Conn Tx and Rx RS-232 COOLING: Forced air (self contained fans) See Model Configuration WEIGHT (approximate): 174 kg (383 lb) SIZE (W x H x D): 56.1 x 149.9 x 58.4 cm (22.1 x 59.0 x 23.0 in)
