Amplier Picture
This ultra broadband class A amplier operates from below 1 MHz to over 1 GHz. Using all gold
metallized LDMOS transistors and a stable design, this compact, high performance laboratory amplier
will nd use in many applications.
The LA2-1-1025-33 is offered as a standalone unit requiring the customer to mount to a modest
heat sink, or we offer this with a heat sink. A disable line is option.

Integration and Operating Instructions
4886 LA2-1-1025-33
Page Number 5
Attach amplier to heatsink using thin layer of thermal compound. The amplier will produce approximately 20W of heat, so a
medium size heatsink will be adequate - a heatsink with approximate dimensions 2 x the area of the lab amp and approx 1.0”
deep. A smaller heatsink may be used if any airow is used.
Attach RF Input and RF Output using SMA Female connectors and tighten. Install ground wire and Vsup using solder connec-
tions - make sure to attach positive wire to Vsup terminal. If optional disable is ordered, install using disable terminal on input
side of amplier.
To operate, apply Vsup and amplier is ready to operate.

-A13 Heat Sink Option with DC Fan, pre wired 0203
-A14 Ruggedized for vibration 0204
-T2 Extended Burn In 0271
-T3 Extended Data Collection 0272
Standard Pallet Options:
SMA Female Connectors, Input and Output. Stainless Body, Gold Center pin, 4-hole SMA bolted to pallet amplier edge through bottom two holes located at ampliers RF IN and RF OUT
locations. All stainless steel hardware.
Enclosure- all aluminum machined enclosure available for most pallet ampliers. Alodyned aluminum, alloy 6061-T6. SMA Female input and output RF connectors. Supply voltage and ground
through solder / feedthrough connections. Module must be bolted to appropriate heatsink.
Heat Sink - aluminum extruded heat sink, black anodized. Pallet amplier or module will be bolted to heatsink. Customer will be required to provide adequate airow.
Heat sink with fan - aluminum extruded heat sink as above, with included fan bolted to push air through the heat sink. Depending on heat requirements, a second fan may also be provided on
the output of the unit.
Ruggedized - all screws have threadlocking compound applied, and all ying components are staked and attached to base. Designed to withstand MIL-STD-810E 514.4 Category 8.
Testing Options:
Standard - includes power test and brief burn - in under laboratory conditions. Printed test report gives graph of Gain and Input Return Loss at rated P1dB and Voltage Conditions. Report
shows pass/fail critera. All ampliers include this test.
Extended burn in - 8-hour burn in at P1dB with standard test run at completion. Unit is monitored during test and any discrepancy reported. Standard test data is included.
Extended data collection - Standard data is run and included. Detailed data is taken point by point giving the customer 25 - 70 frequency points, depending on the amplier model. For each
frequency point, data is generated to include gain, input power, input return loss, current, second harmonic, third harmonic, efciency, audio distortion.
Other tests available - Vibration, Temp cycling, Shock. Please inquire.
