Super broadband, high-power amplifier

Athercomm in San Marcos, Calif., is offering high-power, broadband, RF solid-state amplifier that operates from 200 MHz to 2 GHz called Model Number SSPA. This device is for broadband military platforms as well as commercial applications because it is robust and offers high power over a decade bandwidth. This amplifier operates with a base-plate temperature of 65 degrees Celsius with minor degradation in power in gain. The gain and power responses are flat over the full bandwidth. The output power will typically be reduced by 0.5 to 0.7 decibels with a change in temperature from 25°C to 65°C base plate. The gain will typically change by 0.05 decibels per degree C. It is packaged in a modular housing that is approximately 4 by 6 by 1.14 inches, including heat sink. Saturated output power across the band is typically 5 watts. Noise figure at room temperature is 6.5 decibels typical. This amplifier offers a minimum gain of 50 decibels with a typical gain flatness of ±2.0 decibels. Input/output VSWR is 2.0:1 maximum. Class A current is 1.5 amps typical employing a +28 volts DC supply. For more information contact Athercomm online at www.aethercomm.com
