The Amplifier Research 10S1G4A is a solid state, self-contained, air-cooled, broadband amplifier designed for applications where instantaneous bandwidth and high gain are required. The 10S1G4A is designed for benchtop use, but can be removed from the cabinet for immediate equipment rack mounting.

The 10S1G4A, when used with a sweep generator, will provide a minimum of 10 watts of RF power. Included is a front panel gain control which permits the operator to conveniently set the desired output level.

The 10S1G4A is protected from RF input overdrive by an RF input leveling circuit which controls the RF input level to the RF amplifier first stage when the RF input level is increased above 0 dBm.

The 10S1G4A includes digital control for both local and remote control of the amplifier. This 8-bit RISC microprocessor controlled board provides both IEEE- 488 (GPIB) and asynchronous, full duplex RS-232 control of all amplifier functions.
