Compact 20–50.2 GHz amplifier — high power, ultra‑wide bandwidth and exceptional noise performance.

The R&S®SAM200 system amplifier is an ultra-broadband, compact RF and microwave amplifier for the frequency range from 20 GHz to 50.2 GHz (underrange: 18 GHz to 20 GHz / overrange: 50.2 GHz to 53 GHz). With up to 4 W of output power, excellent linearity, very good noise parameters and digital interfaces the amplifier is ideal for RF and microwave component testing and other system configurations.

Features & benefits

High power for precise RF and microwave testing

The R&S®SAM200 amplifier is an ultra-broadband microwave amplifier with a frequency range of 20 GHz to 50.2 GHz (underrange: 18 GHz to 20 GHz / overrange: 50.2 GHz to 53 GHz). The amplifier is a powerful addition to RF and microwave component testing in combination with signal generators or network analyzers offering low power levels only. The robust design ensures reliable performance even under challenging conditions and when operating with mismatched loads or cascaded components. Outstanding linearity and up to 4 W of output power enable field strengths of up to 50 V/m at a distance of 1 m, in line with standards such as MIL-STD-461 RS103.

Compact and low noise performance

The R&S®SAM200 is a compact and flexible RF amplifier designed for lab benches and rack integration, with identical dimensions for all models. The robust, portable design enables quick setup for temporary test environments, on-site acceptance testing and mobile troubleshooting while maintaining laboratory-grade performance. Built on advanced GaN and GaAs technologies, the R&S®SAM200 delivers high power density, excellent linearity and low noise performance for demanding broadband applications. Class-A operation means precise signal reproduction and high measurement dynamics, while integrated protection circuits safeguard devices against temperature stress and RF output mismatches for reliable operation under challenging conditions.

Broadband architecture

The R&S®SAM200 is designed for ultra-broadband operations from 20 GHz to 50.2 GHz (underrange: 18 GHz to 20 GHz / overrange: 50.2 GHz to 53 GHz). EMC testing at challenging frequencies up to 40 GHz is possible with reproducible and constant power levels. The R&S®SAM200 can be used to evaluate modern 5G-NR waveforms in over-the-air testing by focusing on accuracy and reliability. Wideband filters and components can be evaluated in combination with the R&S®ZNA for interoperability with other measurement devices that shows the wide application range of the R&S®SAM200.

Intuitive GUI design 

The R&S®SAM200 has digital interfaces for interlock and mute functions for smooth integration into existing test environments. For more complex scenarios, additional USB and LAN interfaces can be used supporting an extended control and access to more functionalities. Low gain, regular and low noise/high gain amplifier paths in the R&S®SAM200 Advanced can be directly activated via the USB or LAN interfaces as well as the integrated attenuator, making the amplifier an excellent addition to the measurement chain. The Web GUI simplifies device interaction and keeps complexity to a minimum.

More than expected

While SAM200 is specified for the frequency range from 20 GHz to 50.2 GHz, safe operation is possible underrange from 18 to 20 GHz as well as overrange from 50.2 GHz to 53 GHz. Testing in line with EMC Standard MIL-461 RS103 is possible in the 18-40 GHz frequency band up to 50V/m with the right antenna. The lower frequency range of V-band up to 53 GHz is covered as well by SAM200.
