The CBA80M1G-125E from AMETEK CTS is a high-power Solid-State EMC Power Amplifier that operates from 80 MHz to 1 GHz. It delivers an output power of 140 W with a gain of 55 dB and has a noise figure of 8 dBm. This SSPA is based on a Class A linear design, ensuring high efficiency, ruggedness, and exceptional reliability. It has spurious levels of -70 dBc, harmonics of -20 dBc, a VSWR of less than 1.5:1 (input) & 2:1 (output). This amplifier supports AM, FM, PM, and OFDM modulation formats and is 100% mismatch tolerant.
The CBA80M1G-125E can be controlled remotely via IEEE-488, RS-232, RS-232 (fiber optic), USB 2.0 & Ethernet interfaces and has a color touchscreen panel for local monitoring and diagnostics. It requires an AC supply of 100 to 240 V and consumes 0.6 KVA of power. This amplifier is available in a 3U rack-mount enclosure that measures 48.3 x 13.4 x 65.3 cm and has Type-N female connectors. It is designed for seamless integration with Teseq RF immunity systems and is ideal for radiated immunity testing (IEC, ISO, MIL standards), telecom component validation, aerospace, and defense applications.
