IFI SMX100

With 75 Watts of minimum linear power and 100 Watts of saturated power, the SMX 100 can generate electrical fields in excess of 10 Volts per meter. And for exceptional control of the level of the amplified signal, the SMX 100 features an electronic gain control range of greater than 40 dB.

The SMX 100 intelligently communicates with you. Through a combination of LED lights and a backlit LCD screen, the SMX 100 tells you exactly what is going on. The internal self-diagnostic circuitry provides information that helps you operate the amplifier safely and efficiently and troubleshoot problems more easily.

Designed for longevity, the SMX 100 comes with a number of self-protecting features. It is unconditionally stable against load mismatches. The internal circuitry has built-in high VSWR protection. And if the input or output signals exceed allowed tolerances, the amplifier will automatically lower the power level. With this capability and its many standard features, the SMX100 is the perfect amplifier for your wideband requirements.
