AR Expanding Headquarters To Provide More Power For Manufacturing & Testing High-Power Amplifiers

AR RF/Microwave Instrumentation has broken ground on a major expansion project at its headquarters in Souderton, PA, USA. The expansion, which will add a two story 10,000 sq. ft. addition, will give AR the capabilities to manufacture and test high-power amplifiers in excess of 100 kW.

“We’re pushing the power envelope,” said Donald “Shep” Shepherd, Chairman of AR, “because emerging technologies are creating a greater need for more powerful amplifiers and systems to test new products through GHz frequencies.”

In keeping with its commitment to support the need for higher-power and higher frequency amplifiers, AR is also expanding its microelectronics lab by over 150%. The larger microelectronics laboratory will accommodate additional module manufacturing space to keep up with this outstanding growth.

Near and Far Field Measurements with a Vector Network Analyzer

For optimal performance in over-the-air RF systems, antennas must meet specific requirements. Performance parameters like size, wind-loading, environmental ruggedness, transmission pattern, bandwidth, and power handling capability should be considered. Methods of measuring the transmission (or reception) pattern that determines antenna gain with a VNA will be examined in this article.

“As AR customers require larger, more powerful amplifiers, we’ll be ready for their future needs, ” Shepherd said.
