T&C Power Conversion INTRODUCTION Linear RF Power Amplifier Model LA 25 is a robust source of RF For Industrial, power for ultrasonic, laser Laboratory, modulation, RFI/EMI, Communication plasma generation, laboratory and general and Medical industrial applications. Applications. Featuring leading edge solid state design in all RF amplifier stages, this unit provides everything for a reliable RF power delivery system. It reflects the ongoing T&C commitment to provide RF power products of the highest quality. FEATURING: OPERATION The LA 25 produces 25 W of linear power over a frequency range from less than 0.5 MHz to more than 500 MHz, with low harmonic and intermodulation • 0.5 MHz to distortion. It operates over the entire frequency range without band switching or adjustments. Gain is rated at 44 dB with a typical gain flatness of ±1 dB. 500MHz The LA 25 is compatible with most signal and function generators, computer synthesizer cards and accurately reproduces all waveforms within its output and • 25W Linear bandwidth limits. The Forced-air cooling system and the internal power supply are designed to • 50 W Saturated permit operation over a wide range of temperature and global AC line conditions. The LA 25 is built to endure a +5 dBm (2Vp-p) input. The unit amplifies AM, FM, • Linear Output of SSB, pulse and other complex modulations with <-25 dBc (h3) harmonic 12.5 W with h3≤ distortion and exceptional power stability. GENERAL −25 dBc T&C’s products are designed to be reliable, compact and light in weight. The use of conservatively rated components ensures high reliability and eliminates the need for periodic calibration.
