Product overview
The R&S®BBA130 broadband amplifier covers 80 MHz to 6 GHz with RF output power from 22 W to 13,000 W. It is a rugged amplifier with tuning options that let you optimise signal generation for the application in hand: the transistor bias point can be adjusted between Class A and Class AB during operation, and the mismatch tolerance at the output can be changed to get more power out. The air-cooled models use a compact, modular design that works on the bench or in a rack, and both frequency and power can be upgraded later, which protects the customer's investment.
Key features
- Frequency range from 80 MHz to 6 GHz, for a wide spread of test requirements
- Output power from 22 W to 13,000 W, from the small laboratory to high-power EMC testing
- Bias point adjustable during operation between Class A and Class AB, balancing linearity against faithful reproduction of pulsed signals
- Adjustable mismatch tolerance up to an output VSWR of 6:1, for devices under test that are not at the nominal impedance
- Suitable for amplitude, frequency, phase, pulse and OFDM modulation
- Modular design scales in frequency and power, protecting the initial investment
- Modern user interface: front panel operation, a graphical interface, and control over LAN and a web browser
- SCPI remote control over Ethernet, for easy integration into an automated test system
- Air-cooled and compact, as a desktop or rackmount unit
- Available as single-band, twin-band in one band, and dual-band across two bands
Typical applications
- EMC testing: radiated immunity to IEC, MIL and RTCA standards
- Design verification and product validation: large-signal characterization of antennas, receivers and RF modules
- Antenna impedance matching studies, where the adjustable mismatch tolerance supports accurate measurement away from the nominal impedance
- Aerospace and defense RF test: wideband high-power work on radar, communications systems and electronic warfare equipment
- 5G and wireless development: sub-6 GHz coverage with OFDM signal amplification and system test
