2.1 INTRODUCTION
The A1000 RF amplifier is used to amplify the RF level of signal sources in the
300 KHz to 35 MHz range. No tuning or any other form of adjustment is required.
The A1000 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.
