Product overview
The R&S®BBA300 is a family of solid-state broadband amplifiers for applications that demand high availability: an ultra-wide continuous frequency range reaching into the microwave bands at 18 GHz, high linearity, outstanding noise power density and excellent harmonic characteristics. The operating point is tunable between Class A and Class AB, and the bias current is trimmed periodically and automatically to offset component ageing. A modern role-based graphical user interface comes built in, and remote control over Ethernet with SCPI makes integration into an automated test system straightforward.
Key features
- Continuous RF signal sweeps across an ultra-broad frequency range up to 18 GHz, covering the test band without switching between amplifiers
- Linear RF output power up to 1000 W, with outstanding noise power density (–110 dBm/Hz) and excellent harmonic suppression (–25 dBc)
- AM, FM, PM, pulse and complex OFDM modulation modes, for varied test requirements
- High mismatch tolerance (VSWR 6:1), for robust operation under any load condition
- Flexible, scalable functions and configurations: frequency range and output power both expandable
- Periodic automatic bias current adjustment offsets component ageing and keeps performance stable over the long term
- Modern role-based graphical interface, with remote control over Ethernet and SCPI for easy integration into an automated test environment
Typical applications
- EMC testing to IEC, CISPR and other international standards
- Product validation and OTA coexistence testing, for wireless equipment certification
- RF component characterization: amplifiers, filters, antennas and other devices under test
- Wireless device testing for 5G, LTE, Wi-Fi and other standards
- High-power RF stimulus in the development laboratory and during new product development
- Automated test on the production line, for throughput and repeatability
