The 15S1G6 is a solid-state, Class A design, self-contained, air-cooled, broadband amplifier intended for applications where instantaneous bandwidth, high gain, and linearity are required. It is designed for benchtop use but can also be rack-mounted for integration into equipment racks.
The amplifier covers a frequency range from 0.7 GHz to 6 GHz instantaneously.
The rated power output is 15 watts minimum, with nominal performance reaching 20 watts at 3dB compression and 15 watts at 1dB compression.
The 15S1G6 is capable of faithfully reproducing AM, FM, or pulse modulation appearing on the input signal, making it versatile for various signal processing applications.
The amplifier has a minimum gain of 43 dB with a continuous gain adjustment range of 10 dB minimum, which can be controlled remotely in 4096 steps.
The 15S1G6 utilizes forced air cooling with self-contained fans to maintain optimal operating temperatures.
Remote control interfaces include IEEE-488, RS-232 (both hardwire and fiber optic), USB 2.0, and Ethernet, providing extensive remote control and monitoring capabilities.
The amplifier is available in several configurations, including the standard 15S1G6 with front-panel RF connectors, and M1 through M3 variants, which differ in RF connector positions and rack-mounting options.
The amplifier is protected from RF input overdrive by an RF input leveling circuit, and from over-temperature by shutting down RF amplifier stages if excessive temperature is detected, ensuring reliability and longevity.
The standard 15S1G6 measures 50.3 x 15.5 x 37.6 cm and weighs 15.9 kg, while the rack-mount versions (M2 and M3) are slightly smaller at 48.3 x 12.7 x 37.6 cm and lighter at 10.2 kg.
