Amplifier Research 120S1G3 Microwave Amplifier Repair and Calibration
The Amplifier Research 120S1G3 Microwave Amplifier is a programmable power supply – it holds a commanded voltage or current under whatever load the device under test presents, and switches between constant-voltage and constant-current regulation as that load changes. The output stage does the work, and it is where the heat and the wear concentrate.
June Company repairs and calibrates the Amplifier Research 120S1G3 Microwave Amplifier for test engineers, production test departments, R&D laboratories, and equipment manufacturers. Every instrument is repaired at component level and verified against reference standards before it ships back, with the measured results documented.
Common Amplifier Research 120S1G3 Microwave Amplifier problems we fix
- Internal power supply faults.
- GPIB, LAN, USB or remote-control faults – which breaks automated test sequences while the instrument still works from the front panel.
- Display, keypad or front-panel faults.
- Output voltage or current out of tolerance under load – a supply can read correct on its own display while delivering something else to the load – readback and actual output are separate circuits and they drift separately.
- Will not regulate, or oscillates between CV and CC.
- Excessive ripple or noise on the output – invisible on the front panel and capable of corrupting whatever is being powered.
- Output stage or pass-element failure.
- Current limit not holding at the set value.
- Output relay not switching.
- Cooling fan or thermal shutdown.
FAQs
Are the measurements verified after repair? Yes, against reference standards, with the measured results documented and returned with the instrument.
The display shows the right voltage but my circuit sees something else. How? Readback and actual output are separate circuits. A supply can report correctly while delivering incorrectly, which is why we verify the output under load rather than trusting the panel.

Shipping & Returns
Packing your equipment. You are responsible for packaging equipment adequately for transit. We strongly recommend the original manufacturer’s case, or double-boxing with at least two inches of shock-absorbing material on all six sides. We return your equipment in the packaging it arrived in, so please send it in packaging that will survive the return trip as well. If your packaging is damaged or inadequate for the return, we will substitute suitable packaging and may charge the cost of materials.
Insurance. Equipment is not insured by June Company while in transit. We strongly recommend insuring your shipment for its full replacement value.
Risk of loss. Risk of loss remains with you until your equipment is received at our facility, and transfers back to you when your repaired unit is delivered to the carrier (F.O.B. shipping point). June Company is not responsible for equipment lost, delayed, misdelivered, or damaged in transit, in either direction.
Return label. A prepaid and preprinted return shipping label should be included with your shipment. If one is not included, we will provide one.
Transit damage. Damage occurring in transit is the responsibility of the carrier. It is not a warranty defect and is not covered by the 90-day repair warranty. Any claim must be filed by you with the carrier; we will supply photographs and documentation to support it at no charge.
