Amplifier Research AA18G26-50 Field Generator, 18-26.5 GHz

The Amplifier Research AA18G26-50 is a 18-26.5 GHz solid state field generator designed as a hybrid RF power amplifier and EMC antenna, and built to excel in low-level, high-frequency field applications. AA18G26-50 models provide a minimum field strength of 20V/m or 50 V/m at a 1m distance, in conjunction with an external signal generator. Amplifier Research AA18G26 field generators are protected from overheating via forced-air cooling and possess CE, RoHS and WEEE compliance.
