According to Wolfgang Damm, Product Marketing Director at WTG: “The Amplifier Test Bench not only provides a convenient automated testing setup for different types of amplifiers, but also, together with peak power meters, offers greater accuracy than the average conventional testing method. The Amplifier Test Bench performs actual pulse energy measurements, ensuring a detailed and precise amplifier analysis.”.
The Amplifier Test Bench software also has the capability to measure SWR and return loss over time. This functionality makes it a powerful tool for assessing the long-term stability of RF systems. Analyzing the quality and wear of radar rotary joints is just one example. For this application, the shaft position pulse is the starting point of 0 degrees, triggering the Amplifier Test Bench's repeated measurement cycles. Time is correlated with the angle, and based on this, the software plots return loss over the angle. Potential problems related to the radar system's position angle can now be easily identified.
Amplifier Test Bench is offered as a single-user package, with the option to purchase multi-user licenses. It is available for immediate delivery.
