IFI SMC1500 Solid State Amplifier 80 - 1000MHz, 1500W

The IFI SMC1500 Solid State Amplifier is an RF amplifier that generates 1500 W of rated output power and operates over a frequency range of 80 - 1000 MHz. The IFI SMC1500 models are ideal for EMC testing due to their conservative design, which allows the units to operate below maximum ratings, increasing the lifespan and ruggedness of the amplifier. The IFI SMC1500 Solid State Amplifier features a minimum gain of 62 ohms and 15 kVA. Its peak power metering is equipped to measure forward and reflected power while generating pulse power. SMC1500's operating parameters are simultaneously available in the amplifier front panel display along with the remote bus.

The 6th generation LDMOS transistor technology enables high-quality testing performance, even approaching at its maximum frequency of 1000 MHz. Mechanically hostile environments present no threat to IFI SMC1500 operation, as each amplifier is protected by a shielded modular design, which marginalizes EMI signal leaks and offers convenient access to field service personnel. This feature in turn ensures quick turnaround at depot-level repair facilities. The IFI SMC1500 is a part of the IFI SMC Solid State Amplifier Series.
