X-Band GaN
SSPA Modules
Teledyne Microwave Solutions’ X-Band Solid State Power
Amplifier (SSPA) modules offer superior RF performance
for the 8.-11.GHz radar market. Designed in a compact,
housing, the SSPA modules can used in numerous
applications or environments either on their own or linked to
other SSPA modules.
Available with 1GHz Bandwidth anywhere in the
8-11GHz band, the amplifier is offered in a range of output
levels from 25W to 350W of peak power. The modules can
be used as driver amplifiers for higher power systems or on
their own for lower power applications. They can also be
efficiently combined using Teledyne’s proprietary combiner
technology to achieve higher output levels.
Modules include a sequencing and pulsing control board.
TTL Logic high enables the bias to GaN devices.
Amplifiers mount from the bottom side. They can be
supplied with a top-mounting plate if desired.
