The Model 2000W1000D is a self-contained, air-cooled, broadband, completely solid-state amplifier designed for applications where instantaneous bandwidth and high gain are required. Push-pull circuitry is utilized in all high power stages in the interest of lowering distortion and improving stability. The Model 2000W1000D, when used with an RF sweep generator, will provide a minimum of 2000 watts of RF power.
The Model 2000W1000D is equipped with a Digital Control Panel (DCP) which provides both local and remote control of the amplifier. The DCP uses a color LCD touch screen and a single rotary knob to offer status reporting and control capability. The display provides operational presentation of Forward Power and Reflected Power plus amplifier status. Special features include a gain control, internal automatic level control (ALC) with front panel control of the ALC threshold, forward and reflective RF sample ports for precise power measurements and RF output level protection. Protection is provided by DC current level sensing of all output stages.
All amplifier control functions and status indications are available remotely in GPIB/IEEE-488 format and RS-232 hardware and fiber optic, USB and Ethernet.
