The Bridge12 high-power solid-state Amplifier for X-Band spectroscopy can deliver a maximum pulse power of 400 W at X-Band frequencies. With a duty cycle of up to 20 %, this amplifier is a great alternative to TWT amplifiers which are commonly used in pulse EPR spectrometers.
400 W Output Power
In recent years, solid-state amplifier technology has made tremendous progress and the available output power at X-Band frequencies is steadily increasing.
The Bridge12 X-Band solid-state amplifier can deliver > 400 W (> 56 dBm) of microwave power at a maximum duty cycle of 20 %. The maximum transmitted pulse length is 500 µs, a great advantage over TWTs, especially for experiments such as ELDOR detected NMR spectroscopy.
