Product Overview
The HPA-272+ is a high power, rack mount amplifier with a self-contained AC power supply which can be
used for a wide variety of laboratory testing applications. This rugged amplifier is capable of amplifying
signals up to 100W output power over its entire operating bandwidth of 700 – 2700 MHz. Built-in safety
features include over-temperature protection, fan alarms, and the ability to handle short/open loads up to 3
dB compression point, preventing amplifier damage and providing excellent reliability.
Key Features
Feature
Advantages
Wideband frequency range
700 – 2700 MHz bandwidth covers popular wireless communications, SATCOM and radar
bands in a single instrument, useful for many test applications.
100W output power
Supports high power test applications such as EMI, max power handling, and reliability testing
High Gain
48 dB typical gain allows the HPA-272+ to be driven to full output power with nearly all
commercially available signal generators
High Reverse Isolation
Insulates load reflections to protect sensitive signal sources from potential damage and
performance variation due to load pulling
A/C Power
Operating from standard AC line power supply - the HPA-272+ can be powered from 85-265V
at 47~63 Hz making this HPA versatile in supporting global markets
Cooling system
Front to back forced air cooling fans makes this ideal for usage in test equipment racks.
Built-in protections
The unit shuts OFF when the internal amplifier reaches a set temperature of 85±5°C, preventing damage to the amplifier and providing added reliability.
marked
Meets conformity standards for sale within the European Economic Area (EEA).
