    (dB) or more. Solid state technology is used exclusively to offer significant advantages in reliability and cost. A Model 10U1000, used with a frequency-swept signal source, will provide 10 watts of swept power output from .01–1000 megahertz (MHz). Typical applications include antenna and component testing, wattmeter calibration, and electromagnetic interference (EMI) susceptibility testing, as well as usage as a driver for frequency multipliers and high-power amplifiers.

    Select an operating location that will permit air to circulate freely around the amplifier’s cabinet. The Model 10U1000 utilizes air cooling and should be located where the normal flow of air into or exiting from the unit will not be restricted, diverted, or re-circulated through the unit itself; in particular, the flow of warm air exiting the rear of the amplifier should not be impeded.

    3. THEORY OF OPERATION INTRODUCTION The Model 10U1000 RF amplifier consists of a 10 - 1000 MHz RF amplifier assembly. The RF amplifier assembly consists of a Pre-Amplifier (Pre-Amp), and one final amplifier module. The power supply section consists of an AC input filter, a circuit breaker, +5V, -15V, and a +28V power supply, voltage regulator circuity, an Operate/Control circuit, and an interface board.
