CBA 100M-110 Introduction
The CBA 100M-110 is an amplifier capable of supplying 110 W into a 50 ohm load
over the frequency range 10 kHz to 100 MHz, during the course of EMC tests on
electrical equipment. The amplifier is designed with sufficient gain such that it
may be used with normal output levels of signal sources. A safety interlock on
the rear panel is also provided, which will mute the amplifier when grounded.
The unit is powered from a switched mode power supply for high efficiency,
high power factor and wide voltage range operation. The unit is air cooled with
integral fans, and is protected against faulty cooling by excess temperature
sensing.
A front panel indicator is provided to indicate over-temperature. The amplifier is
designed for rugged operation into a variety of loads. The amplifier is primarily
intended for use as a power source for EMC susceptibility testing, but is also
applicable to other systems requiring a wide-band linear amplifier.
This amplifier is designated as ‘professional equipment’ and should not be
operated by untrained staff.
As this product has the capability to generate high levels of RF energy it is not
intended for use in a residential environment.
