External power amplifier for Bode 100
 
B-AMP 12 is an external power amplifier for the Bode 100. With B-AMP 12 you can amplify the Bode 100 output signal by 12 dB to perform measurements with signal levels up to 25 dBm. Using the impedance measurement ports of B-AMP 12 you can directly measure impedance with high signal levels.
Typical applications for B-AMP 12 in conjunction with Bode 100 are:
 
  • Measuring very low impedance values
  • Measure voltage-dependent capacitance values (chip capacitance)
  • Use B-AMP 12 to inject more power into circuits during e.g. Loop Gain measurement, Input Impedance measurement or Output Impedance measurement
  • Generate more power in noisy environments such as measurements on high-power DC/DC converters or AC/DC converters
