Where it fits

What the 500W1000C is used for

80 MHz to 1 GHz is the first band of ISO 11452-2 in the absorber-lined shielded enclosure, a core part of MIL-STD-461 RS103 and RTCA/DO-160 Section 20, and the first band of IEC 61000-4-3. The W series is the AR range built for it, from 50 W to 10 kW. The 500W1000C adds forward and reverse sample ports, so the power meters of the test system can be connected without an external coupler.

Which model a laboratory needs is a system design question. Send us your test plan and we will size the amplifier with the rest of the system.

Frequently asked

AR 500W1000C in Malaysia

What does the C at the end of AR 500W1000C mean?

AR model numbers read as power, series and upper frequency: 500 W, W series, 1000 MHz. The final letter is the revision of the design, so a 500W1000C is a later generation than a 500W1000A or B.

Where can I buy the AR 500W1000C in Malaysia?
