Saturated power: - Swept Power out plots: Frequency versus power out, with associated tabular data, at 0 dBm input.
Linear Power: determine the point of where a 10 dB decrease in input power results in a 9dB decrease in output power for 1dB compression, and a 7dB decrease in output for 3dB compression. The corresponding output power is measured and graphed. This is repeated across the frequency range.
Gain Flatness: Power input level is set to -20dBm. The output power is then read across the frequency range.
Harmonics: Power input level is set to 0 dBm. Using a Spectrum analyzer record the amplitude of fundamental carrier frequency in dBm. The levels of the second and third harmonics are measured in dBm are subtracted from the level of the fundamental. This is repeated across the frequency range.

Specifications:
YesFrequency Range: 2.5 - 7.5 GHz instantaneously minimum
YesINPUT FOR RATED OUTPUT: 1.0 milli watt maximum (O dBm)
1500 Watt min 2000 Watt typical
NOTE: This design is based on combining 4 ea. TWT's, rated at approximately 535 W Rated Power@ OUTPUT CONNECTOR: 22000 Watts Minimum each. These are the most powerful tubes available to us. To guarantee more than
No2000 W minimum across all operating conditions would require us to combine 8 TWT's instead of four and would more than double the price of the amplifier.

MISMATCH TOLER ANCE: Output power foldback protection at reflected power exceeding 300 watt s. Will operate without damage or oscillation with any magnitude and phase of source and load impedance. May oscillate with unshielded open due to coupling to input.
YesShould not be tested with connector off.

YesHARMONIC DISTORTION: Minus 15 dBc or bett er.
YesOperating Temperature: 32 to 122 degrees F (0 to 50 degrees C)
Our initial bid erroneously stated the non-operating temperature range to be -202 to
Yes702 C. The non-operating temperature range of the T7525-2000 is -402 to 702 C, Non-operating Temperature: -40 to 158 degrees F (-40 to 70 degrees C) which is compliant with the specification requirement.
YesAltitude : 0 to 6000 feet operating
YesPRIMARY POWER: 360-435 VAC, 3 phase, WYE (5 wire), 50/60 Hz
CONNECTORS:
YesRF input : Type N female, front panel
YesForward and reflected power sample port s, front panel
Our initial bid erroneously stated the RF Output Connector would be Type 1-4/ 8 EIA Female. In fact, neither th e Type 1-4/8 EIA nor the Type 1-5/8 EIA connector is suitable for thi s application. Type 1-5/8 EIA connectors are rated to a maximum
frequency of app roximately 3 GHz, which excludes it from use with a 2.5 to 7.5 GHz RF output: Type 1-5/8 EIA female, rear panel amplifier. The T7525-2000 will incorporate a WRD250 ridged waveguide connector on
the rear panel. WRD250 is rated for operation bet ween 2.6 and 7.8 GHz and can
handle the power required for this application. It will operate below 2.6 GHz, but there will be some attanuation .
