both commercial and government entities and their affiliates worldwide.

Headquartered in San Diego, California, the company utilizes its global network of resources to effectively serve

customer requirements.

As a unique original equipment manufacturer of power amplifiers ranging from 500KHz to 51GHz with various

output power levels and noise figure ranges, we fully support custom designs and manufacturing requirements

for both small and large volume levels. We bring decades of combined experience in the RF field for numerous

applications including military jamming, communications, radar, EMI/EMC and various commercial projects with

all designing and manufacturing of our HPA, MPA, and LNA products in-house.

Advanced Amplifiers received its ISO9001:2009 and ISO14001:2009 certification on January 2013 by ITQA which

is an accredited member of JAS-ANZ.

With our in-house engineering capabilities and fully equipped manufacturing facilities, Advanced Amplifiers is

committed to provide the best in RF products with industry leading quality and lead time.

INCOMING INSPECTION

Inspect unit for any sign of external damage. Do not use this equipment if there is physical damage or missing

parts. Inspect all front and rear panel connectors for damage. Inspect fans and their airways for any damage or

blockings. For a unit with a digital controller option, the interface software USB is with the manual.

RF & AC CABLE CONNECTION

RF Input and Output connectors are Type-N female connectors. Use the standard AC cable that was supplied by

the manufacturer or higher power rating cables than the manual specifies. Refer to the front and rear panel

description page for the location of RF and AC connectors.

RF TURN ON PROCEDURE

Connect RF input to an RF generator. Connect a suitable load for the power rated and continuous operation to

the output connector. Turn on the AC switch, display will show STANDBY. Optionally, connect the unit to a digital

control Software or Ethernet connection. Set the RF generator to nominal 0dBm and set the desired frequency

in the specified range. Select Gain or ALC and set to the desirable output power level then press the ONLINE

button. Use the front panel LCD gain adjust or the remote function to adjust the output power on the power

meter and the LCD screen to desired levels.

Refer to Appendix 1 for detailed operating instructions of the local and remote controller.

RF TURN OFF PROCEDURE

Decrease the RF drive from the RF generator to below -20dBm and press STANDBY on the LCD or via the control

software. Turn off AC switch on the front panel. Disconnect any unnecessary cable connections.
