Coaxial cable assembly suitable for fixed wiring inside and between equipment used in the microwave band up to 100GHz (continuous operating temperature range: -30 to +85°C).
These cables have excellent formability (shape-retention capability) that make wiring work easy and exhibit superior loss characteristics compared to semi-rigid cables. Standard connectors are SMA (m) straight connectors, although other connectors can be used as required.
Field strength varies based on the frequency and position of your antenna. Mounting your antenna to a tripod allows for easy rotation of the antenna to the desired position. All of our antennas are designed to mount easily on a tripod or to a mounting plate. Antenna mounting adapters are also available for older versions of the AT1000, AT1080, and AT5080 antennas. Positioners are available for the larger horn antennas. All of these devices allow for vertical and horizontal polarization changes without removing the antenna from the tripod/positioner.

The low frequency tuners are a unique product technology using MPT algorithms for low frequency wideband tuning. Three or more cascaded tuning sections use series transmission cables and parallel rotary capacitors.
The length of the cables and number of tuning sections are optimized for maximum tuning range over a given bandwidth. HLFT tuners use 6 tuning sections allowing second harmonic frequency tuning.
Amplifier Research
Founded in 1969, Amplifier Research is a world-class source for broadband high power, solid state, RF amplifiers and microwave amplifiers, TWT amplifiers, log periodic antennas and high-gain horn antennas, plus EMC test equipment, software and field probes and monitors. Throughout its 50 years (and counting), AR has been responsible for a number of “firsts” which have transformed not only EMC and RF testing but also the industries and equipment affected by these tests. A sampling of these innovations includes:
- 10,000-watt tube amplifiers,100-watt solid-state • 100-1000 MHz instantaneous bandwidth Class A amplifier
- First production 16,000-watt solid-state linear amplifier from 10 kHz to 225 MHz
- 50,000-watt Class A power amplifier up to 225 MHz
- 0.7 to 6 GHz high-power Class A & AB amplifier
Additionally, they push the limits of state-of-the-art design and have ruggedized their products to make them virtually indestructible. AR amplifiers are fully tested to the extreme to ensure customers receive a product that is built to last.
