SPECIFICATIONS

The Model 10ST1G18A is a self contained, forced air cooled, broadband hybrid solid state and traveling wave tube (TWT) microwave amplifier designed for applications where low harmonic content is required in sub-band ranges and where high gain and moderate power output are required. A reliable amplifier system that provides a conservative 10 watts minimum at the amplifier output connector with low harmonics. Stated power specifications are at the fundamental frequency.

POWER (fundamental), CW, @ OUTPUT CONNECTOR
- Nominal: 15 watts
- Minimum: 10 watts
Linear @ 1Db Compression
- 8 watts minimum, 0.8 – 4.2 GHz
- 5 watts minimum, 4.2 – 18 GHz
FLATNESS
- ±3 Db maximum, 0.8 – 4.2 GHz
- ±9 Db maximum, 4.2 – 18 GHz
FREQUENCY RESPONSE: 0.8 – 18 GHz in one of four selectable sub-bands
INPUT FOR RATED OUTPUT: 1.0 milliwatt maximum
GAIN (at maximum setting): 40 Db minimum
GAIN ADJUSTMENT (continuous range)
- 10 Db minimum (0.8 – 4.2 GHz)
- 35 Db minimum (4.2 – 18 GHz)
INPUT IMPEDANCE: 50 ohms, VSWR 2.5:1 maximum
OUTPUT IMPEDANCE: 50 ohms, VSWR 2.5:1 typical

MISMATCH TOLERANCE: 100% of rated power without foldback from 0.8 – 4.2 GHz. Output power foldback protection above 4.2 GHz at reflected power exceeding 10 watts. Will operate without damage or oscillation with any magnitude and phase of source and load impedance. May oscillate with unshielded open due to coupling to input. Should not be tested with connector off.

MODULATION CAPABILITY: Will faithfully reproduce AM, FM, or pulse modulation appearing on the input signal. AM peak envelope power limited to specified power.
