•Application Note: Input Power Requirements For AR RF/Microwave Instrumentation's Amplifiers
A common concern when choosing an amplifier is, "How much input power is required to achieve full rated output power?" Here at AR this question is easily answered since we have always specified a maximum input of 1 milliwatt. Standardizing on 1 milliwatt precludes the need for an additional preamplifier, thus simplifying the overall test system. Over the years this feature has become an industry standard. While the rated input power is defined as 1 milliwatt, most amplifiers provide rated output power with less than 1 milliwatt input. This application note will discuss the importance of input drive and how to operate amplifiers to obtain optimum results. Click Here To Download:
