SAM100 20W MW system amplifier, 2GHz to 20GHz

The SAM100 system amplifier is an ultra-broadband solid state microwave amplifier with a frequency range from 2 GHz to 20 GHz. With a power of up to 20 W, outstanding linearity and very good noise characteristics, the R&S SAM100 amplifier is ideal as a compact system amplifier in various measurement setups e.g. design (DVT) and product validation test (PVT) or EMC. In measurement environments with R&S generators, frequency analyzers or network analyzers, they can act as drivers or boosters and amplify the measurement signals. The R&S SAM100 is also an excellent alternative to tube amplifiers as well as for multi-band assemblies consisting of narrow-band single amplifiers.

• Ultra-broadband frequency range: 2 GHz – 20 GHz
• Output power: 20 W Psat and higher
• High gain with low noise <8 dB and excellent linearity
• Very suitable for AM, FM, PM, PhiM, OFDM
• Compact, modular and robust for DVT / PVT and EMC

With its compact, modular design, the  SAM100 system amplifier fits perfectly in a  19″ rack. Its form  factor also allows installation in PXI frames. The digital control interface makes it especially suitable for integration in automatic test systems. The input and output connectors are compatible with a variety of RF connector systems, including 2.92 mm and 3.5 mm. The arrangement of the RF connectors makes it easy to integrate the  SAM100 system amplifier into every circuit and system structure.
