Amplifier Research - RF Amplifiers
Our “A” and “W” Series amplifiers have the power to deliver all the field strength you need. With unsurpassed mismatch capabilities and excellent flatness, they provide all the power promised over the entire operating band.
We subject our amplifiers to the harshest conditions just to make sure they give you reliable service and performance over the long haul. We test them under various output VSWR loads to stress them to the limit. The only problem we ran into was that there were no available loads to handle the enormous power up to 80,000 W that our amplifiers deliver. Whereas this would stop most manufacturers, it presented another challenge to our talented designers, and we designed our own. All our RF solid-state amplifiers have modulation capability that will faithfully reproduce AM, FM or Pulse Modulation appearing on the input signal for use in the most demanding EMC applications.
These technologically advanced amplifiers perform beyond the norm, beyond expectations, and way beyond the abilities of other test amplifiers.
These self-contained, broadband, completely solid-state amplifiers are designed for applications requiring the ultimate in output power over a wide instantaneous bandwidth with high gain. Extensive control and status reporting capabilities are available both locally and remotely. Most models feature air-cooled designs while some higher power units feature liquid cooled designs. The touch-screen panels are intuitive, convenient, and easy to use.

AR E-field generators offer exceptional uniformity between the elements. Our ATE10K30M uses low inductance high-power internal load resistors to terminate RF power, and offers well-matched input VSWR. The ATE10K100M is our own patent-pending folded-dipole type design. And we haven’t yet found a test object the ATE10K25M–1 can’t handle.
AR’s microwave amplifiers are just as tough and dependable as our RF amplifiers, and they are backed by the same comprehensive warranty. Our microwave amplifiers offer the hard-to-find combinations of power and bandwidth in frequency increments and power output you need for today’s test applications.

The MP Series of Field Monitoring Packages are combinations of AR Field Monitors and Field Probe Kits. Each package contains all the necessary equipment to make Field measurements.
The FI8000 interface provides both power to and communication with the FL8000 series probes. A low-level loop back fiber optic connection is used to sense unexpected disconnect of laser driven fibers to ensure user-safe operation. As an additional safety measure, shuttered connectors are used on all fiber optic connections to and from the probe.
The FI8000 can be used with the FM7004A Field Monitor (using the provided 0.5-meter fiber optic cable) or a PC by direct communication using the IEEE-488 (GPIB), Ethernet, USB 2.0, RS-232 or Fiber-Optic Serial interfaces.
