HIGH PERFORMANCE
RF- DRIVERS


 
Photline family of RF drivers for modulators are connectorized amplifier modules intended to feed modulators with an electrical signal exhibiting optimized peak-to-peak voltage, rise/fall time and jitter. These drivers offer maximum interoperability with the Photline modulators ; however, they show excellent performance also when operated with modulators from other vendors.

The family of RF drivers characterizes by a very compact packaging, direct connection with modulators, a single voltage (12 V) power supply that makes their use not only easy but also safe since an on/off sequencer is included in the bias circuit. Most of the devices feature a gain control input for output voltage adjustment and high output voltage modules come with a heat sink.
