1. DESCRIPTION AND SPECIFICATIONS
This manual provides operating, interfacing and selected service information pertinent to Amplifier
Research Model 1000TP8G18 Broadband Microwave Amplifier. The Model 1000TP8G18 is a 1,000
watt pulse only IJ- band traveling-wave tube amplifier (TWTA). This manual supports models offering
additional special features. Refer to the model specification sheet to determine the applicable features
of this unit.
1.1 TWTA DESCRIPTION
The amplifier uses a broadband traveling-wave tube to provide a minimum of 1,000 watts peak pulsed output
power from 7.5 to 18.0 GHz for the standard unit and 6.5 to 18.0 GHz for certain configurations. The
amplifier is well suited for pulse susceptibility and general laboratory testing where instantaneous bandwidth
and high gain are required.
For bench top use the amplifier is supplied in an enclosure with integral carrying handles.
The amplifier is completely self-contained and packaged for standard 19-inch rack mounting or bench top
use. The front panel of the rack mountable amplifier is 8.75 inches high, and the overall unit is 25 inches
deep, excluding the rear-panel connectors.
Primary power is 190-260VAC, 50/60 Hz, single phase. An efficient switching power supply design provides
minimum power consumption. A fast regulation control loop and a high degree of filtering ensure
performance within specifications over a wide range of operating conditions. The amplifier is fully enclosed,
and the upper and lower panels of the enclosure are interlocked to reduce the likelihood of accidental contact
with high voltage.
