INTRODUTION Amplifier Model LA 5 is a robust source of RF power for ultrasonic, laser modulation, RFI/EMI, plasma generation, laboratory and general industrial 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. OPERATION 5 Watts of Linear RF The LA 5 produces 5W of linear power over a frequency range from less Power From 50 kHz to than 50 kHz to more than 900 MHz, with low harmonic and intermodulation distortion. It operates over the entire frequency range 900 MHz For Industrial, without band switching or adjustments. Laboratory, Gain is rated at 33 dB with a typical gain flatness of ±1.5 dB. Communication and The LA 5 is compatible with most signal and function generators, computer synthesizer cards and accurately reproduces all waveforms Medical Applications. within its output and bandwidth limits. The Forced-air cooling system and the internal power supply are FEATURING: designed to permit operation over a wide range of temperature and • 50 kHz to 900 MHz total global AC line conditions. The LA 5 is built to withstand a +10 dBm (2Vp-p) Input signal. The unit • 5 W Linear amplifies the inputs of AM, FM, SSB, pulse and other complex modulations with <-30 dBc (h3) harmonic distortion and output power • 8 W Saturated stability. • Linear Output of 2.5W GENERAL T&C’s products are designed to be reliable, compact and light in with h3≤−30 dBc weight. The use of conservatively rated components ensures high reliability and eliminates the need for periodic retuning. of up to 2 Vp-p @ 50 Ohm within Class Of Operation AC Power Source Class A amplifier output and bandwidth 100 - 120 VAC, 200 - 240 VAC limits. +/-10%, 47 - 63 Hz Frequency Of Operation Input and Output Impedance 50 kHz to 700 MHz 50 Ohm AC Power Connection 700 to 900 MHz with - 1.5 dB IEC Standard Power Entry drop Input VSWR 2:1 max Cooling RF Power Output Forced air 8 W saturated up to 300 MHz Output VSWR 7 W sat., 300 to 400 MHz 3:1 max Dimensions 6 W sat., 400 to 700 MHz H 95mm x W 480 mm x L 420mm Load Mismatch ( 3.75” x 19” x 16.5” ) Gain All phase angles 33 dB ±1.5 dB Weight : 4.2 kg, ( 9 lbs. ) Harmonic Level @ 2.5 W RF Input Drive Better then - 30 dBc for 3rd Mounting Typical range -10 dBm harmonic, any other > -30 dBc Stand alone unit.
