SSPA 0.020-6.000-70

Aethercomm Model Number SSPA 0.020-6.000-70 is a high power, super broadband, Gallium Nitride (GaN) RF amplifier that operates from 20 MHz to 6.0 GHz. This PA is ideal for broadband military platforms as well as commercial applications because it is robust and offers high power over an extremely large bandwidth with decent power added efficiency. This amplifier operates with a base plate temperature of –20C to +70C. It is packaged in a modular housing that is approximately 5.5”(width) by 6.5”(long) by 2.0”(height). The weight of this unit is 5.0 pounds maximum. This amplifier has a typical saturated output power of 70 watts at room temperature. Noise figure at room temperature is 10 dB typical. The gain flatness from 20 to 5500 MHz is typically ± 3 dB. Power flatness at saturation is typically ± 3 dB. Input and output VSWR is 2.0:1 typical. This PA operates from a +28 Vdc input voltage.
This SSPA includes an external DC blanking command that enables and disables the module in 25 uSec maximum. Typical on/off timing values are 18 uSec. A logic low or open circuit disables the amplifier. Logic high will enable the amplifier. Standard features include over/under voltage protection and reverse polarity protection. Input/output RF connectors are SMA female. DC and command voltages are accessible via a DSUB connector.
