AR Application Note on “Subampability” Ranks Among Top 10 Downloads of 2008 on RF Globalnet

The ability to add power to amplifiers when needed is the topic that inspired all the downloads

Souderton, PA - 2/2/09 - AR RF/Microwave Instrumentation is a leading provider of power amplifiers. The company also publishes various application notes (position papers) throughout the year that deal with a variety of topics of interest to RF/microwave engineers. These application notes are made available at AR’s web site and other industry sites, including RF Globalnet, one of the most widely used reference sites for the RF/microwave industry.

The top 10 downloads of 2008 on RF Globalnet included an AR application note on the subject of “Subampability.” The term, coined by AR, refers to the ability of some AR power amplifiers to take on additional power and to be split for multiple uses. Instead of amplifiers becoming obsolete as tests demand higher power, more power can simply be added to existing amplifier; and when extra power is not needed, the amplifiers can be divided for multiple uses.

This increased flexibility of lab/test equipment has obviously caught the attention of the industry. To read more about “Subampability,” you can download the application note directly from the AR RF/Microwave Instrumentation web site. Just go to downloads and look for application notes on the drop-down menu. The “Subampability” application note is #40A. You can also download the Application Note directly at the following URL:
