The Amplifier Research 100W1000M13 is a solid-state, air-cooled RF power amplifier engineered for broadband applications demanding high gain and linear performance across the 0.8 to 1.0 GHz band. This 100 W minimum output amplifier delivers 50 dB power gain and operates from a typical 1 mW maximum input, making it suitable for EMC testing, communications, and radar system integration. Push-pull circuitry in high-power stages minimizes distortion while maintaining stability across all load conditions.
