Description
Overview
The R&S®BBA300 is a solid‑state ultra‑wideband broadband amplifier family for critical RF test environments (EMC, OTA coexistence, product validation, RF component testing). Models cover continuous frequency ranges from 380 MHz to 18 GHz and scalable P1dB output power up to 1000 W depending on configuration. The platform is modular and configurable as single, dual or multiband systems.
Key facts
Features & benefits
Excellent RF performance
Broadband amplification from 380 MHz to 18 GHz with output options up to 1000 W. Covers EMC bands and common wireless standards (GSM, LTE, 5G, WLAN, Bluetooth®, Zigbee). Supports narrowband CW and broadband OFDM. Typical noise power density down to −110 dBm/Hz and harmonic levels around −25 dBc ensure low adjacent channel leakage and good transfer characteristics.
Tunable amplifier
Software option R&S®BBA300-PK1 enables tuning the operating point between class A and class AB to optimize linearity, pulse reproduction or maximum RF output power and to increase mismatch tolerance.
High availability
RF design and protection concepts enable reliable continuous operation under mismatched loads (tolerance up to VSWR 6:1). Periodic bias current adjustment compensates component aging/drift to increase lifetime and reduce downtime.
Flexible, configurable
Compact modular 19" plug‑in units allow scalable rack integration. Frequency range and power can be configured and extended; switching options enable combining amplifiers and grouping bands into multiband systems.
Smart control
Modern software platform with role‑based GUI. Standard Ethernet interface with SCPI remote‑control; SNMP optional. Option keys enable frequency extension, high power mode, operation‑point adjustment and other licensed functions.
