For the period of 12 months E&I will, at its option, repair or replace defective parts so as to render the unit fully operational such that it performs according to the original specifications;...
- Page 3 A highly linear Class AB design, the 1040L will amplify inputs of AM, FM, SSB, pulse and any complex modulation signals. The amplifier has 55 dB gain, it is unconditionally stable and will not oscillate even with combinations of mismatched source and load impedance.
- Page 4 Chapter 2 Operation 2.1 INTRODUCTION The 1040L RF amplifier is used to amplify the RF level of signal sources in the 10 KHz to 5 MHz range. No tuning or any other form of adjustment is required. The 1040L produces power output at its output connector, regardless of load impedance.
- Page 5 2.3.2 Front Panel Display The 1040L front panel has a passive LCD display designed for simplicity and ease of use. During initialization, the LCD shows the software revision. After the amplifier is initialized, the LCD indicates Forward Power, Reflected Power, and amplifier status (see figure 2.1).
- Page 6 If the fault persists, please contact Field Service. 2.3.3 RS 232 Interface The 1040L features a standard RS-232 serial interface suitable for connection to a PC or host system. The communication protocol is extremely simple to facilitate readback and control with readily available terminal programs such as Hyperterm.
- Page 7 Chapter 3 Technical Description 3.1 GENERAL DESCRIPTION The 1040L is designed to amplify signals by 55 dB in the frequency band of 10 KHz to 5 MHz. The signal from the front panel BNC connector is fed via a length of 50 ohm coaxial cable into the input of the driver amplifier module.
