Products Modules SSPA 0.225-2.000-50

Aethercomm Model Number SSPA 0.225-2.000-50 is a high power, broadband, Gallium Nitride (GaN) amplifier that operates from 225 MHz to 2000 MHz minimum. It is designed for harsh environments such as munitions and high performance fighter aircraft. Power added efficiency in saturation is typically 40% across the band. Input VSWR is 2.0:1 maximum. Output VSWR is 2.0:1 typical. This unit is equipped with Aethercomm's proprietary DC switching circuitry that enables and disables the DC-DC circuitry in 1200 nSec typical for turn on and 2900 nSec for turn off time. Standard features include output short and open circuit protection, and reverse polarity protection. This power amplifier operates from a +28 Vdc power supply. Standby current is ~60 mA and the quiescent current is 1.25 amps without RF drive. This amplifier operates from -40C to +85C base plate temperature.

This SSPA is manufactured for broadband communication systems and electronic warfare systems. It is employed in high shock and vibration environments. Standard housing size is approximately 3.90(w) by 3.90(l) by 1.78(h) inches. For mounting and heat sink instructions, please contact the factory. An SMA female connector is standard on the RF input port. An SMA female connector is standard on the output port. DC and logic connections are accessible via a DSUB connector. A logic high or open circuit disables the amplifier to the Off state. A logic low or will enable the unit.
