MODEL 200T4G8
M1, M3
200 WATTS CW
4 - 8 GHz
The Model 200T4G8 is a self contained, forced air cooled, broadband traveling wave tube (TWT)
microwave amplifier designed for applications where instantaneous bandwidth and high gain are
required. A reliable 250 watt TWT provides a conservative 200 watts minimum at the amplifier output
connector. Stated power specifications are at the fundamental frequency.
The amplifier's front panel digital display shows forward and reflected output plus extensive system
status information accessed through a series of menus via soft keys. Status indicators include power
on, warm-up, standby, operate, faults, excess reflected power warning and remote. Standard features
include a built-in IEEE-488 (GPIB) interface, 0dBm input, VSWR protection, gain control, RF output
sample port, plus monitoring of TWT helix current, cathode voltage, collector voltage, heater current,
heater voltage, baseplate temperature and cabinet temperature.
Modular design of the power supply and RF components allow for easy access and repair. Use of a
switching mode power supply results in significant weight reduction.
Housed in a stylish contemporary cabinet, this unit is designed for benchtop use but can be removed
from cabinet for rack mounting. The Model 200T4G8 provides readily available RF power for a
variety of applications in Test and Measurement, (including EMC RF susceptibility testing), Industrial
and University Research and Development, and Service applications.
