R&S®VD480L UHF Power Amplifiers

For ground-to-air and naval radiocommunications

Applications

The R&S® VD480L UHF power amplifier is designed for following system applications:

  • Optimum of efficiency in connection with the Rohde & Schwarz Communication Systems R&S® Series200, R&S® Series400U and R&S® M3SR; for details see 'Features'
  • Single and multichannel application
  • Fixed-frequency systems
  • Data operation: 16-kbit operable e.g. for WB AM/FM baseband or diphase
  • Amplifier models with RF bypass relays enable:
    • operation in standard transceiver mode via the only TX/RX antenna path (for all above applications) or
    • power management: normal/ high power mode switchable
    • continued operation in case of amplifier failure
  • EPM (HAVE QUICK/R&S® SECOS) systems (with R&S® M3SR (R&S® Series4400) transceivers with separate TX and RX antennas)
  • Use in 230 VAC or 110 VAC environment (different models available)
  • Use in DC powered radio systems
  • Automatic AC/DC switchover
  • Use in collocated radio systems
  • Linear amplifier operation together with other (non-Rohde & Schwarz) exciters
  • Continuous operation (100% duty cycle)
