The Amplifier Research Model 200T2G8A is a self contained, forced air cooled, broadband traveling wave tube (TWT) microwave amplifier designed for applications where instantaneous bandwidth and high gain are required. A reliable TWT provides a conservative 200 watts minimum at the amplifier output connector. Stated power specifications are at the fundamental frequency.

The 200T2G8A amplifier's front panel digital display shows forward and reflected output plus extensive system status information accessed through a series of menus via soft keys.

Standard 200T2G8A features include a built-in IEEE-488 (GPIB) interface, 0 dBm input, VSWR protection, gain control, external video pulsing, RF output sample port, plus monitoring of TWT helix current, cathode voltage, collector voltage, heater current, heater voltage, baseplate temperature and cabinet temperature.
