The RH6138 is a solid state, broadband power amplifier designed to meet the new standards of software defined radios (SDR) to meet the highest performance requirements for HF radios in modern digital communication systems.
The RH6138 is universal device providing automatic/manual configuration of its circuitry and gain depending of the input signal level. The RF Amplifier/Power Supply is a stand alone unit suitable for tabletop or 19” rack installation.
RH6138 is capable to operate with radios complying MIL-STD-188-141A, STANAG 4444, STANAG 5066. The Power amplifier meets MIL-STD-810E.
The main features of the amplifier are:
- Built-in controller
- Built-in Pre-amplifier
- LCD monitor
- 2 –levels overheat protection
- Short/open output protection
- Continuous operational cycle at full output power
- High reliability in harsh environment
