Aethercomm Model Number SSPA 0.4-0.6-100 is a high power, high efficiency , RF amplifier that operates from 400 MHz to 600 MHz. This PA is ideal for military platforms as well as commercial applications because it is robust and offers high power over a 200 MHz bandwidth with excellent power added efficiency. This amplifier was designed for high efficiency applications. It is packaged in a modular housing that is approximately 6.0" (width) by 9.0" (long) by 1.5" (height). This amplifier has a minimum P1dB of 100 watts at room temperature. Noise figure at room temperature is 15.0 dB maximum. This amplifier offers a typical gain of 28 dB with a typical gain flatness of ± 1.0 dB. Input and output VSWR is 2.0:1 maximum. Class AB quiescent current is ~1.5 amps typical employing a +28 Vdc supply. This PA operates from a +28 Vdc input voltage. For more characteristics of this amplifier, please contact the factory.

This SSPA includes an external DC blanking command that enables and disables the module in 15 uSec maximum. A logic low or open circuit disables the amplifier. A logic high will enable the amplifier. Standard features include over/under voltage protection and reverse polarity protection. The output is fully protected from an open or short circuit presented to this port with no damage. Input/output RF connectors are SMA female. DC and command voltages are accessible via a DSUB connector. Contact the factory with any questions you may have. This amplifier operates from -40C to +85C base plate.
