The Model 1000S1G6C from AR RF/Microwave Instrumentation is a Solid-State Power Amplifier that operates from 1 to 6 GHz. It delivers a CW output power of more than 1000 W with a small signal gain of 66 dB. This class-A SSPA provides protection from input overdrive beyond 0 dBm as well as protection from various failure conditions including over-temperature and power supply faults. It exhibits performance characteristics with minimal spurious emissions, measuring at -73 dBc and harmonic distortions of -30 dBc which makes this amplifier t ideal for use as a driver in testing wireless and communication components and subsystems. It is also suitable for demanding applications like EMC and 5G testing, where it can consistently handle high VSWR loads, including open and short circuits.

The 1000S1G6C amplifier has a front panel display which indicates the operational status and fault conditions. All amplifier control functions, and status indications are available remotely using GPIB/IEEE-488, RS-232, fiber-optic serial, USB, or Ethernet. This SSPA is available in a rack-mountable enclosure that measures 57.3 x 136.0 x 95.5 cm with N-type (female) input and 7-16 DIN (female) output connectors. It is a versatile EMC testing device that can be used across various domains such as military, aviation, automotive, and commercial sectors. This SSPA is ideal for radiated and conducted EMC testing, general-purpose assessments, antenna trials, and component evaluations. It has a 3A001 export classification. The amplifier requires a 3-phase AC supply and consumes less than 8.5 kW of power.
