SYSTEM DESCRIPTION GENERAL INFORMATION MS4782X Test Set The Series MS4782X Test Set contains a Wilkinson type combiner that combines the two RF signals from Ports 1 and 3 (RF1 & RF3) of the Scor- pion. External preamplifiers can optionally be provided at the combiner input to boost the input RF power to the amplifier-under- test (AUT). The combiner has power input rating of 30-Watts maximum when terminated with a VSWR of 1.2:1. For an open or short at the combiner output, the combiner input powe

GENERAL INFORMATION SYSTEM DESCRIPTION Bandwidth: Should be sufficiently wide to cover the frequency band of the AUT. Isolation: Should be no less than (P 27 dB), where P is the o o power output in dBm of the AUT. Thus for Po = 47 dBm (50 watts), a 20 dB isolation is required. For a P greater than 47 dBm up to 50 o dBm (100 watts), two circulators in series can be used. Where S or Hot S measurements are not required, power amplifiers 22 22 with up to 100 watts average output power can be te

The MS4782A is shipped from the factory with this through line in place. 1-10 K FACTOR K factor is a parameter which is sometimes used to indicate the stability of an amplifier.
