Laplace Instruments Ltd User guide RF Power amplifier 2 Operating Instructions 2.1 General Operating the amplifier is very simple. Connect the input to a signal generator and the output to a load (e.g. antenna or cell). The signal generator may provide a signal of constant frequency or a frequency swept signal, with or without AM/FM. - Page 9 Laplace Instruments Ltd User guide RF Power amplifier Fig 1 Interlock connector 3.
