AOM Driver A35-Series

The A35xxx RF driver series provides up to 5 Watt output power. Various types cover a frequency range from 80 to 350 MHz. The frequency is customizable.

The maximum RF output power is adjustable by an internal potentiometer. The analogue modulation voltage controls the output power from 0 to 100% of the adjusted maximum power.

Additional to the analogue modulation voltage a digital modulation control signal can switch on and off the RF power. An operation scheme below illustrates the interaction of the two modulation signals in detail。

Both the analogue and digital modulation are characterized by extraordinary on/off ratios of at least 65dB.

The driver can be operated with modulation frequencies (analogue and digital) up to 1/4 of the carrier frequency.

Optimum EMC shielding and mechanical protection is achieved by an aluminium casing and a conductive surface passivation.

The base plate serves for mounting as well as for heat dissipation. Also a compatible base plate style, which eases maintenance of facilities equipped with legacy drivers A33x or A34x, is available.
