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.
AR’s microwave amplifiers are just as tough and dependable as our RF amplifiers, and they are backed by the same comprehensive warranty. Our microwave amplifiers offer the hard-to-find combinations of power and bandwidth in frequency increments and power output you need for today’s test applications.
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.

When test needs call for higher power and higher frequency, consider our “T” Series microwave amplifier line– 1 to 50 GHz, 40 to 20,000 W CW and Pulse. These amplifiers provide coverage for a wider range of high-power microwave test applications than any other brand of microwave amplifier on the market and are incredibly feature-rich.
They also offer an advanced design and highest quality construction of any TWT amplifier on the market.
