Product Highlights

The Amplifier Research 40S6G18B is a portable, self-contained, air-cooled, broadband, solid-state amplifier designed for applications that require instantaneous bandwidth, high gain and linearity. 

Features and Specifications of the Amplifier Research 40S6G18B40S6G18B Amplifier include:

  • Features:
    • Provides a minimum of 40 watts of RF power instantaneously from 6 to 18 GHz when used with a sweep generator
    • Digital Control Panel (DCP):
      • Provides both local and remote control of the amplifier
      • Uses a graphic Liquid Crystal Display:
        • Provides gain settings
        • Provides reports of internal amplifier status
      • Uses menu assigned softkeys
      • Uses a single rotary knob
      • Uses a dedicated on/off switch
      • Offers extensive control and status reporting capability
    • Special features:
      • Gain control
