Amplifier Research - Laser Probe Interface
The FI8000 interface provides both power to and communication with the FL8000 series probes. A low-level loop back fiber optic connection is used to sense unexpected disconnect of laser driven fibers to ensure user-safe operation. As an additional safety measure, shuttered connectors are used on all fiber optic connections to and from the probe.
The FI8000 can be used with the FM7004A Field Monitor (using the provided 0.5-meter fiber optic cable) or a PC by direct communication using the IEEE-488 (GPIB), Ethernet, USB 2.0, RS-232 or Fiber-Optic Serial interfaces.

More Product Information
The FL8000 Series field probes offer a three-in-one solution capable of measuring continuous-wave, pulsed, and modulated electric fields. Covering 5 kHz – 60 GHz, the FL8000 Series works great in commercial, automotive, military, and aviation applications. Each field probe is an electrically small, separable axis sensor capable of measuring both continuous wave and pulsed electric fields offering a unique bandwidth, sensitivity, and dynamic range. Functionality that historically necessitated several types of field probes is now encompassed in a single product.
This series offers exceptional linearity and dynamic range performance to enable the accuracy required for even the most demanding testing. With fiber power connectivity, the FL8000 Series provides an easy migration path, all while delivering the reliability that has made AR the world leader in field monitoring.

Redundant Hot Swappable Power Supplies
Our “A” and “W” Series amplifiers have the power to deliver all the field strength you need. With unsurpassed mismatch capabilities and excellent flatness, they provide all the power promised over the entire operating band.
We subject our amplifiers to the harshest conditions just to make sure they give you reliable service and performance over the long haul. We test them under various output VSWR loads to stress them to the limit. The only problem we ran into was that there were no available loads to handle the enormous power up to 80,000 W that our amplifiers deliver. Whereas this would stop most manufacturers, it presented another challenge to our talented designers, and we designed our own. All our RF solid-state amplifiers have modulation capability that will faithfully reproduce AM, FM or Pulse Modulation appearing on the input signal for use in the most demanding EMC applications.
These technologically advanced amplifiers perform beyond the norm, beyond expectations, and way beyond the abilities of other test amplifiers.
These self-contained, broadband, completely solid-state amplifiers are designed for applications requiring the ultimate in output power over a wide instantaneous bandwidth with high gain. Extensive control and status reporting capabilities are available both locally and remotely. Most models feature air-cooled designs while some higher power units feature liquid cooled designs. The touch-screen panels are intuitive, convenient, and easy to use.

Field strength varies based on the frequency and position of your antenna. Mounting your antenna to a tripod allows for easy rotation of the antenna to the desired position. All of our antennas are designed to mount easily on a tripod or to a mounting plate. Antenna mounting adapters are also available for older versions of the AT1000, AT1080, and AT5080 antennas. Positioners are available for the larger horn antennas. All of these devices allow for vertical and horizontal polarization changes without removing the antenna from the tripod/positioner.

Amplifier Research
Founded in 1969, Amplifier Research is a world-class source for broadband high power, solid state, RF amplifiers and microwave amplifiers, TWT amplifiers, log periodic antennas and high-gain horn antennas, plus EMC test equipment, software and field probes and monitors. Throughout its 50 years (and counting), AR has been responsible for a number of “firsts” which have transformed not only EMC and RF testing but also the industries and equipment affected by these tests. A sampling of these innovations includes:
- 10,000-watt tube amplifiers,100-watt solid-state • 100-1000 MHz instantaneous bandwidth Class A amplifier
- First production 16,000-watt solid-state linear amplifier from 10 kHz to 225 MHz
- 50,000-watt Class A power amplifier up to 225 MHz
- 0.7 to 6 GHz high-power Class A & AB amplifier
Additionally, they push the limits of state-of-the-art design and have ruggedized their products to make them virtually indestructible. AR amplifiers are fully tested to the extreme to ensure customers receive a product that is built to last.
