2.1 INTRODUCTION
The 3100LA RF amplifier is used to amplify the RF level of signal sources in the
250 KHz to 150 MHz range. No tuning or any other form of adjustment is
required.
The 3100LA produces rated power output at its output connector, regardless of
load impedance. Any power reflected due to output load mismatch is absorbed in
the amplifier. Therefore, although the output impedance is 50 ohms (maximum
VSWR: 2.5:1), the amplifier will work into any load impedance.
2.2 RACK INSTALLATION
This unit is 5U high, 17
” width. With the handles removed it will fit into a standard
rack.
