The R&S®BBA300 family – an innovative solid-state generation of broadband amplifiers with high availability

Flexible, configurable as single, dual or multiband amplifier system

The R&S®BBA300 broadband amplifiers are a new generation of highly compact solid-state broadband

amplifiers designed for high availability. They feature extremely wide, continuous frequency bands

extending up into the high microwave range, along with high linearity, outstanding noise power density and

excellent harmonic characteristics. They also boast high system configuration and operational settings flexibility.

The R&S®BBA300 is ideal for critical test environments such as EMC, product validation and OTA coexistence testing as well as for RF component testing in the frequency range from 380 MHz to 18 GHz for RF output power of up to 300 W P1dB.

Features & benefits

Excellent RF performance

The products in the R&SeBBA300 family include the R&S@BBA300-CDE R&S@BBA300-DE,R&S@BBA300-f and R&SeBBA300-FG amplifier series with broadband amplification in the frequencyranges from 380 MHz to 18 GHz with output power of up to 300 W. They cover freauencies in EMCstandards, in the GSM, LTE, 5G and GPRS mobile communications standards as well as the WLAN,Bluetooth@ and Zigbee radio standards. The amplifiers support continuous sweeping of RF signalsacross the entire frequency range. This unique feature speeds up EMC testing, RF component anddevice testing and validation for wireless communications manufacturers. Narrowband CW signals(signals with simple AM, FM, PM or pl modulation and broadband, complex OFDM signals) can beamplified. High linearity, outstanding noise power density as low as -110 dBm/Hz and harmoniccharacteristics of -25 dBc and ensure a low adiacent channel leakaae ratio lACLR) as well as excellenttransfer characteristics without additional EV.

Tunable amplifier

R&SeBBA300 means just one ultra-wideband amplifier is needed for many applications The andreguirements. The innovative R&SBBA300-PK1 software option gives the R&S@BBA300 widebandamplifier family two powerful tools for tuning amplifiers and optimizing output signals. Users can adjustthe amplifier for excellent linearity or faithful reproduction of pulse signals by shifting the operatingpoint between class A and class AB and setting the amplifier for maximum RF output power or formaximum tolerance of output mismatch to utilize the application power reserves. Developers in R&Dlabs, test engineers in test labs, integrators or operators on production lines can optimize output signalsand react flexibly to a wide variety of requirements.

High availability

The innovative R&S@BBA300 family features high availability and robust operations, The sophisticatedRF design ensures reliable, continuous operation even with mismatched RF output loads or a shorted oropen RF output. EMC labs appreciate the high mismatch tolerance of Rohde & Schwarz broadbandamplifiers, which can provide full RF power at the output even with mismatches of up to VSWR 6:1Iinimizing downtime is vital to users. Rohde & Schwarz amplifiers offer high availability, stability andreliability with innovative, smart protection concepts. Functions such as periodic bias currentadiustment to compensate for component aging and drift increase the lifetime of broadband amplifiersCustomized service packages increase the high system availability of R&SeBBA300 amplifiers.

Flexible, configurable

R&SeBBA300 broadband amplifiers are designed for maximum flexibility in minimum space. Thecompact and modular design of the amplifiers and other components enables scalable, highlyintegrated rack systems with 19" plug-in units. The freguency range and power of the amplifiers can beflexibly configured and subseauently extended at any time, securina user investment. Switch optionsenable individual amplifiers to be combined for specific applications and multiple frequency bands canbe grouped into a system.

Smart control

A new software platform ensures role-based, modern, user-friendly operation. The GUl allows operationpoint adiustments during use for improved efficiency. Dedicated access is available to extensiveparameter sets. Option kevs enable additional functions such as freguency range extension, high powermode, adjustment of operation point or other. The standard Ethernet interface automates testprocedures with remote control commands that use SCPl nomenclature.Optionally, the SNMP protocol can be enabled for remote control.
