The Model AA18G26, when used with an external signal generator, will provide a minimum of 20 V/m field strength for the AA18G26-20 and 50 V/m field strength for the AA18G26-50 at a distance of 1 meter. The AA1000 is recommended for providing DC power, RF signal routing and fault detection to the AA18G26.
Model AA18G26 1.4.2 General Caution Notes CAUTION: The Model AA18G26 is capable of generating output voltages that are dangerous to human life and can cause serious microwave burns to human tissue. Therefore, never stand or walk in front of the antenna when it is radiating microwave energy.

The required DC power for the AA18G26 is +8VDC @ 6 amps max for amplifier power and +24VDC @ 1 amp max for cooling fan power. AR Model AA1000 supplies both of these voltages via a keyed twinax cable between the AA1000 and AA18G26. As soon as voltage is applied to the AA18G26, the amplifier and fans will turn on.
