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.

The “U” Series customizable, Class A design is ideal for laboratory and EMC testing, as well as testing antennas, components, piezoelectric devices, wireless chargers, and more. The “U” Series offers performance and durability with the power and frequency for universal applications. In addition to the models listed below, custom versions are also available.
Beginning in 2019, AR will be embedding ampwebwARe in all new amplifiers. Once an amplifier is connected to a network and an IP address is set, any other device connected to that network can access the amplifier’s embedded webpage. The features of this embedded webpage include:
- All Information Shown on One Screen
- Simple User Interface
- Allows for Remote Diagnostics
- Monitor Status from Anywhere
- Multiple Simultaneous Browser Connections
- Many Supported Web Browsers
These rugged, dependable high gain log periodic antennas give you the constant high intensity fields you need for RFI and EMI testing in and out of a shielded room. They deliver frequency response and field intensity beyond the norm. AR’s log periodics are designed for high power radiated testing and can be calibrated for emissions.
Their lightweight modular design makes assembly and relocation easy. And they’re built tough, so they can withstand extreme temperatures.
AR E-field generators offer exceptional uniformity between the elements. Our ATE10K30M uses low inductance high-power internal load resistors to terminate RF power, and offers well-matched input VSWR. The ATE10K100M is our own patent-pending folded-dipole type design. And we haven’t yet found a test object the ATE10K25M–1 can’t handle.
Comprehensive EMC test software for radiated susceptibility, conducted immunity, radiated emissions, and conducted emissions, with the ability to do multi-tone testing. Windows compatible.
emcware® by AR RF/Microwave Instrumentation provides automated Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) testing and report generation for all types of users from corporate to professional test laboratories. Through its unique workflow and hundreds of predefined test profiles, allows EMC test engineers more test time through minimal training, and highly efficient equipment and test setup when compared to the competition.
The MP Series of Field Monitoring Packages are combinations of AR Field Monitors and Field Probe Kits. Each package contains all the necessary equipment to make Field measurements.
Model FM7004A is an E-field control center that offers monitoring, display, and alarm capabilities for immunity-test environments. Exceptionally precise with auto-recognition to adapt to laser powered probes. The FM7004A is self-calibrating and is programmed to be self-correcting. The unit allows field-strength measurement at up to four probe locations simultaneously with results displayed on a backlit color LCD. Choose from any field probe with sensitivity from 0.4 to 1000 V/m, 0.012 – 17 A/m, and frequency response from 5 kHz to 60 GHz.
Our RF horn antennas exhibit increasing gain, with frequency up to 18 dBi at 1000 MHz, helping to compensate for losses that occur elsewhere in an RF test system. Use these antennas in shielded rooms or free space.
