High-Power and Cool
Minimal Heat Generation

Heat generation and dissipation has always been a vexing problem in SSHPA technology. Utilizing proprietary patented techniques eliminating the need for heat sinks, fans, or cooling liquids, we have designed a SSHPA that is small in size and light weight making it ideal for radar, ECM, EW, as well as test and measurement.

Versatile modular architecture easily supports straightforward combining for higher peak power requirements. All models are designed with the latest highly efficient Gallium Nitride components and can be configured to meet various size and power requirements.

Typical RF input level is 0 dBm so no additional external pre-amp is required. Pulsed applications focus on lower S-Band and C-Band. Common 50-volt DC input voltages are standard on all models. Standard operational duty cycle is 10% with pulse widths as high as 300 micro-seconds depending on configuration.

On-board monitoring of temperature, current, and duty cycle provide protection in harsh environmental situations. Status monitoring is provided via Ethernet as a standard interface. RF output is a standard type 7/16 Din female connector.
