Amplifier Research 500T2G8 CW TWT Amplifier

The Amplifier Research 500T2G8 is a broadband TWT amplifier that generates 500 W of continuous wave output power over a frequency range of 2.5 GHz to 7.5 GHz. AR 500T2G8 amplifiers are housed in a stylish, modern cabinet and feature a built-in IEEE-488 (GPIB) interface, VSWR protection and gain control. A front panel screen displays both forward and reflected output as well as essential system status info, with status indicators to streamline operation like warm-up, standby, faults and more. Amplifier Research 500T2G8 units also monitor the TWT helix current, collector voltage, cathode voltage, heater current and more. Engineers rent the AR 500T2G8 as an RF susceptibility, industrial, university research and defense test solution.
