Vectawave VBA230-35, 150kHz - 230MHz, 35W Amplifier

Features & Specifications of Vectawave VBA230-35 :

The VBA230-35 is a member of the 150kHz- 230MHz high power amplifiers, designed primarily for EMC applications.

Like all the products of the VBA230 series, it is based on rugged push-pull MOSFET technology, for extra even order harmonic suppression.

The amplifier operates in class A, the benefits for EMC applications being very low distortion and tolerance of 100% mismatch. Fold-back protection is neither fitted nor needed! This makes it supremely suited for very demanding transducer requirements.
