The PT series of KW Pulse amplifiers built by IFI; are high power, “State-of-the-art” Pulse TWT amplifiers specifically designed for
microwave testing applications. Our elegant approach provides 1,000-2,000 Watts of pulse power for various frequency ranges from 1.0
to18.0 Gigahertz in various packages that offers all the controls and communications needed for today's automated test systems. These
amplifiers have field proven reliability and unsurpassed performance as the best in the industry.
From the ground up the PT series amps are built to withstand rugged handling, whether it's being shipped to you or hauled around from
site to site. Our amplifiers feature modular construction and this concept of modular design minimizes internally produced EMI signal
leakage and provides easy access for field service and rapid turnaround at depot level repair facilities. Redundant thermal and airflow
sensors prevent the TWT from overheating. In addition, high VSWR protection is built in.
The PT series “State-of-the-art” interface is sophisticated yet simple to use. The backlit LCD screen shows forward/reverse power
indication, status and self-diagnostic information. All the amplifiers operating parameters are simultaneously available in the amplifier front
panel display as well as over the remote bus. Selection switches allow you to switch the amplifier to the desired mode of operation for local
control if the unit is not being operated remotely. For computer automation, both an RS-232 and IEEE-488 interface are included. To meet
individual requirements, the PT series amplifiers can be easily customized with our available options that may be required for your
application.
With all this capability and its reliable elegant design, the PT series amplifiers are the perfect amplifier for your testing needs. IFI also offers
different size packages to best suit your application. We have standard 10.5” high models for most commercial systems, but we also offer an
8.75” high version for space limited applications.
