MANUAL_ACS-230-50W Rev. M02.15

Introduction

The Com-Power model ACS-230-50W broadband power amplifier operates from 150 kHz

to 230 MHz. This amplifier can be used for EMC immunity testing that requires generating

electric fields. This small and lightweight amplifier utilizes class AB linear power devices

that provide high gain, and wide dynamic range. By employing advanced components, the

Com-Power ACS-230-50W amplifier is able to achieve high efficiency operation and

reliability.
