Test Equipment Solutions Datasheet Test Equipment Solutions Ltd specialise in the second user sale, rental and distribution of quality test & measurement (T&M) equipment. We stock all major equipment types such as spectrum analyzers, signal generators, oscilloscopes, power meters, logic analysers etc from all the major suppliers such as Agilent, Tektronix, Anritsu and Rohde & Schwarz. We are focused at the professional end of the marketplace, primarily working with customers for whom high performance, quality and service are key, whilst realising the cost savings that second user equipment offers. As such, we fully test & refurbish equipment in our in-house, traceable Lab. Items are supplied with manuals, accessories and typically a full no-quibble 2 year warranty. Our staff have extensive backgrounds in T&M, totalling over 150 years of combined experience, which enables us to deliver industry-leading service and support. We endeavour to be customer focused in every way right down to the detail, such as offering free delivery on sales, covering the cost of warranty returns BOTH ways (plus supplying a loan unit, if available) and supplying a free business tool with every order. As well as the headline benefit of cost saving, second user offers shorter lead times, higher reliability and multivendor solutions. Rental, of course, is ideal for shorter term needs and offers fast delivery, flexibility, try-before-you-buy, zero capital expenditure, lower risk and off balance sheet accounting. Both second user and rental improve the key business measure of Return On Capital Employed. We are based near Heathrow Airport in the UK from where we supply test equipment worldwide. Our facility incorporates Sales, Support, Admin, Logistics and our own in-house Lab. All products supplied by Test Equipment Solutions include: - No-quibble parts & labour warranty (we provide transport for UK mainland addresses). - Free loan equipment during warranty repair, if available. - Full electrical, mechanical and safety refurbishment in our in-house Lab. - Certificate of Conformance (calibration available on request). - Manuals and accessories required for normal operation. - Free insured delivery to your UK mainland address (sales). - Support from our team of seasoned Test & Measurement engineers. - ISO9001 quality assurance.

Utilization of push-pull MOSFET circuitry lowers distortion, improves stability and allows operation into any load impedance without damage. When used with an RF sweep generator, the 75A250A will provide a minimum of 75 watts of swept RF output power. The Model 75A250A includes a front panel RF Gain Control, which permits the operator to conveniently set the amplifier's desired output level. Housed in a stylish contemporary enclosure, the unit provides instantaneous power for typical applications such as RF susceptibility testing, antenna and component testing, Watt-meter calibration and as a driver for higher power amplifiers. The 75A250A is powered by a high efficiency switching supply, with autoranging AC input circuitry which will automatically accept voltages from 90 to 135 VAC, or from 180 to 270 VAC, in the 47 to 63 Hz frequency range. The RF Amplifier stages are protected from over temperature by removing the DC voltage to them if an over temperature condition occurs due to a cooling blockage or fan failure. The digital display on the front panel indicates the operation status and any pending fault conditions when an over temperature or power supply fault has occurred. The unit can be returned to normal operation when the condition has been cleared; as with the other functions, this can be readily accomplished through a front panel switch. The unit also includes digital control for both local and remote control of the amplifier. The 8-bit RISC microprocessor controller board provides IEEE-488 (GPIB) and asynchronous full duplex RS-232 communication control of all amplifier functions. 75A250 TYPICAL POWER OUTPUT 120 CW 100 LINEAR @ 1dB COMPRESSION WATTS 80 60 40 20 0 0.001 0.01 0.1 1 10 FREQUENCY (MHz) 100 1000 REV090503 SPECIFICATIONS Model 75A250A POWER OUTPUT, CW Nominal .............................................................................................100 watts Minimum............................................................................................75 watts Linear @ 1 dB compression ..............................................................50 watts minimum FLATNESS............................................................................................± 1.0 dB maximum FREQUENCY RESPONSE...................................................................10 kHz - 250 MHz instantaneously INPUT FOR RATED OUTPUT ............................................................1.0 milliwatt maximum GAIN (at maximum setting) ..................................................................49 dB minimum (See model configurations) GAIN ADJUSTMENT (continuous range)............................................18 dB minimum INPUT IMPEDANCE ...........................................................................50 ohms, VSWR 1.5:1 maximum OUTPUT IMPEDANCE .......................................................................50 ohms, VSWR 2.0:1 maximum MISMATCH TOLERANCE ..................................................................100% of rated power without foldback.
