VBA2000-100
1000MHz - 2000MHz 100W Amplifier
l
Solid state TWT replacement. l High reliability proven GaAs design l Class A for maximum mismatch drive l General linear power requirements
The VBA 2000-100 is a member of our family of 1000MHz-2000MHz high power amplifiers, designed primarily for EMC applications. Like all our products of the VBA 2000 series, it is based on our GaAs technology, offering the user the benefits of linearity, ruggedness and efficiency. With its compression point close to saturated output, it is equivalent to TWT amplifiers of twice the output power.
The amplifier operates in class A, the benefits for EMC applications being very low distortion and tolerance of 100% mismatch. Fold-back protection is neither fitted nor needed! This makes it supremely suited for very demanding antenna and test chamber requirements.

Internal Pulse Generation
The VBA 2000-4000P is a pulsed amplifier operating over the 1-2GHz frequency band with 4kW output power. It utilizes GaN technology for its specific suitability for this application, giving high pulse power and solid state reliability.
The amplifier runs in class AB linear mode with modest CW output capability, making it suitable for CW and SW tests as well as Pulsed Mode radiated susceptibility in Section 20 of the RTCA DO-160 standard, with a suitable antenna and chamber. The amplifier incorporates an internal pulse modulator, programmable from either the front panel or remote control.
