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
