• Tomco linear amplifiers are capable of producing much more than their rated output power. The amplifiers are designed such that an RF drive level of not more than 0dBm is required for full output power at any frequency. Applying more than 0dBm of RF drive can result in more RF output power, as the amplifier enters compression. -
Page 5: Hazardous Materials Warning
In a fire situation where this material may be exposed to extremely high temperatures, it may give off toxic fumes. Appropriate measures, including the provision of nearby carbon-dioxide based fire extinguishers should be taken to prevent the amplifier from being exposed to fire.
