2.1 INTRODUCTION
The 500S06 RF amplifier is used to amplify the RF level of signal sources in the
20 to 600 KHz. No tuning or any other form of adjustment is required.
The 500S06 produces rated power output at its output connector into 50 Ohms. It
will produce less power at other load impedances. Therefore, although the output
impedance is 50 ohms, the amplifier will work into any load impedance.
On the front of the unit there are BNC connectors for current and voltage
monitors. These monitors provide a scaled down representation of the output
waveform.
Scaling:
Voltage monitor into 50 Ohms 1V = 50 V at amplifier output
Current monitor into 50 Ohms 1V = 1 A at amplifier output
