Product overview

The R&S®BBL200 broadband amplifiers are the right choice wherever high RF power is needed. They are linear Class A amplifiers delivering 3 kW, 5 kW or 10 kW of output power over a frequency range of 9 kHz to 250 MHz. The liquid-cooled, solid-state, high-endurance design runs quietly and efficiently, and precise monitoring of every operating parameter gives maximum stability and reliability. The amplifiers are designed for continuous operation and hold their output power even under mismatch conditions.

Key features

  • Frequency range of 9 kHz to 250 MHz, for wideband applications
  • Output power of 3000 W, 5000 W or 10000 W at the 1 dB compression point, so the power class can be matched to the job
  • 100 % mismatch tolerance: rated power is still delivered at VSWR 6:1, which is what EMC testing with antennas away from 50 Ω needs
  • Advanced RF design and leading power semiconductors, combined with decades of Rohde & Schwarz amplifier development, set the benchmark
  • Liquid cooling keeps the amplifier modules cool and lets the heat exchanger be installed away from the amplifier, cutting noise and temperature inside the rack
  • AM, FM, PM, pulse and OFDM modulation, for many kinds of test signal
  • Lean firmware with effective monitoring and protection, so operation stays safe even with the RF output shorted or open
  • Built-in web GUI, operated over LAN from a browser, with SCPI remote control commands for test automation

Typical applications

  • EMC testing: high field strength radiated tests using mismatched antennas
  • Device under test measurements: components or systems whose input impedance is away from 50 Ω
  • Particle accelerator research: driving cavity resonators that need high RF power, in accelerator physics experiments
  • Aerospace and defense: high-power RF signal generation for environmental testing and system validation
  • Laboratory and field testing: high-power CW and modulated signals in all kinds of test environment
