Providing Custom Solutions Through Modular Design

In today’s test and measurement environment, users rarely have “standard” requirements. Whether they’re working in EMC compliance, sonar testing, imaging applications, or advanced research, power demands are constantly evolving. Voltage levels change, current requirements increase, frequency ranges expand, and new test profiles emerge.

The challenge is clear:
How do you deliver a solution that feels custom-built without creating a one-off system that’s expensive, difficult to support, and impossible to scale?

At AE Techron, the answer is simple:

Providing Custom Solutions through Modular Design

Rather than approaching every application as a blank sheet of paper, AE Techron cabinet systems are built around proven, standardized building blocks.

This modular approach allows us to deliver solutions that are:

Tailored to customer requirements
Repeatable and supportable long-term
Scalable as needs evolve
Engineered for reliable performance

Why Modularity Matters

A modular system is more than just a cabinet with amplifiers inside. It’s a platform designed to grow alongside the customer’s needs—without forcing redesigns or oversized purchases up front.

With modular cabinet systems, users can:

Add power only when needed
Expand voltage capability over time
Reconfigure outputs for different test demands
Maintain consistent performance across modules

This flexibility is essential in industries where requirements shift quickly and budgets are often phased over time.

Cabinet Systems Built for Real-World Applications

AE Techron’s 8000 Family and 9100 Series cabinet systems are prime examples of modular design in action.

Instead of purchasing individual amplifiers and managing complex integration themselves, you receive a complete cabinet-level solution that is:

Assembled
Integrated
Tested
Validated as a unified system

This eliminates many common challenges, including:

Interface and connection mismatches
Complicated wiring between standalone units
Uncertainty in system-level performance
Increased setup time and troubleshooting

The result: a solution designed to work together from the start.

A Modular Example: The 9100 Series Cabinet Platform

The 9100 Series is one of AE Techron’s clearest demonstrations of scalable cabinet architecture.

These systems are built using the proven 9115 amplifier as the core modular building block. By integrating multiple 9115 modules into standardized cabinet configurations, AE Techron can support a wide range of power profiles—without needing unique, one-off engineering.

The modular concept is straightforward:

Start with the cabinet size that fits today’s requirement
Add more amplifier modules as power demand increases
Maintain consistent architecture, controls, and serviceability

9100 Series Cabinet Models at a Glance

Model	Max. Cont. Output	Surge Rating (@ 200Vp)	Max. Cont. Power
9130	180A RMS	290A peak	10 kW
9145	270A RMS	435A peak	15 kW
9160	360A RMS	580A peak	20 kW
9175	450A RMS	725A peak	25 kW
9190	540A RMS	870A peak	30 kW

Each cabinet model is not a completely different design—it is an extension of the same modular platform.

You get a solution that feels custom-tailored, built on proven and repeatable infrastructure.

One Platform. Multiple Markets. Endless Flexibility.

The versatility of AE Techron cabinet systems makes them valuable across many industries, including:

EMC immunity and compliance testing
Sonar and underwater acoustics research
Imaging and sensor evaluation
University and government laboratory experimentation
Aerospace and defense system validation

Different applications may require different power profiles, but the modular foundation remains the same: adaptable building blocks configured to meet the job.

Custom Solutions That Aren’t Truly Custom

What makes AE Techron’s approach unique is that many “custom” solutions are not custom in the traditional sense. Instead of building one-off units, we leverage modular platforms that can be configured in repeatable ways.

That means you benefit from:
