The R&S®BBA300 family – an innovative solid-state generation of broadband amplifiers with high availability

Flexible, configurable as single, dual or multiband amplifier systems

The R&S®BBA300 broadband amplifiers are a new generation of highly compact solid-state broadband
amplifiers designed for high availability. They have extremely wide, continuous frequency bands
that extend up into the high microwave range, along with high linearity, outstanding noise power density and
excellent harmonic characteristics. They also have very flexible system configurations and operational settings.

The R&S®BBA300 is ideal for critical test environments such as EMC, product validation and OTA coexistence testing as well as RF component testing in the frequency range from 380 MHz to 18 GHz for linear RF output power of up to 1000 W P1dB.

Features & benefits

Excellent RF performance

  • The BBA300 broadband amplifier series covers the following frequency bands: CDE: 0.38–6 GHz, DE: 1–6 GHz, F: 6–13 GHz, and FG: 6–18 GHz, with a linear output power of up to 1,000 W.
  • Coverage of EMC standards, mobile communications standards (GSM, LTE, 5G, GPRS) as well as WLAN, Bluetooth® and Zigbee.
  • Continuous sweeping across the ultra-wide frequency ranges – speeds up EMC testing as well as RF component and device testing.
  • Amplification of narrowband CW signals (AM/FM/PM/φM) and broadband, complex OFDM signals.
  • High linearity, noise power density as low as –110 dBm/Hz and harmonics of –25 dBc ensure low ACLR and excellent transfer characteristics without additional EVM.

Tunable amplifier

  • One ultra-wideband amplifier for many applications; the R&S®BBA300-PK1 software option provides two powerful tools for amplifier tuning and output signal optimization.
  • Operating point can be shifted between class A and class AB for maximum linearity or faithful pulse reproduction, and set for maximum RF output power or maximum output mismatch tolerance.
  • Enables developers, test engineers, integrators and production line operators to optimize output signals and respond flexibly to a wide variety of requirements.

High availability

  • High availability and robust operation – the sophisticated RF design ensures reliable continuous operation even with mismatched, shorted or open RF outputs.
  • High mismatch tolerance (up to VSWR 6:1) delivers full RF power at the output – especially valued by EMC labs.
  • Smart protection concepts such as periodic bias current adjustment compensate for aging and drift to extend lifetime; customized service packages increase system availability.

Flexible, configurable

  • The R&S®BBA300 broadband amplifiers offer maximum flexibility in minimum space.
  • Compact, modular design enables scalable, highly integrated 19" rack systems with plug-in units.
  • Frequency range and power can be flexibly configured and extended at any time – securing user investment.
  • Switch options allow combining individual amplifiers for specific applications; multiple frequency bands can be grouped into one system.

Smart control

  • New software platform offers role-based, modern, and user-friendly operation.
  • Graphical user interface allows the adjustment of operating points during operation to optimize the amplifier behavior; dedicated access to extensive parameter sets is available.
  • Option keys activate additional functions such as frequency range extension, high-performance mode, or operating point adjustment.
  • Ethernet interface automates test sequences via SCPI remote control; SNMP is available as an option for remote control.
