The RITEC SP-801A Square Wave Pulser, available through Sonemat’s distribution for RITEC Inc., provides robust and configurable pulsing capabilities for high-precision ultrasonic testing. With a high-voltage output adjustable between -40 and -400 V in 2 dB increments, the SP-801A delivers peak pulse power up to 10 kW when matched with a low-impedance load. This makes it ideal for ultrasonic transducers in industrial inspection and research environments.
Designed with eight selectable pulse width settings, the SP-801A accommodates a range of frequencies, from 0.5 MHz to 20 MHz, enabling flexible configuration for specific transducer requirements. Its low impedance and fast 15 ns rise/fall times ensure minimal signal distortion, while overload protection provides reliable operation. With options for internal repetition rate control and external triggering, the SP-801A integrates seamlessly into complex testing systems.
