The Amplifier Research 200W1000M7 is a solid-state RF amplifier delivering 200 watts minimum continuous wave power across 80 MHz to 1000 MHz. Built on push-pull circuitry in high-power stages, it combines high gain with instantaneous broadband coverage while maintaining exceptional stability and low distortion. The amplifier operates unconditionally stable into any magnitude and phase of source and load impedance at rated output, eliminating concerns about mismatch-induced damage, foldback, or oscillation.
