Empower RF Systems Inc of Inglewood, CA and Holbrook, NY, USA (which produces RF and microwave power amplifiers for defense, commercial and industrial applications) has launched a single-band solid-state gallium nitride (GaN) system amplifier capable of delivering a minimum 150W across its entire 0.6-6GHz band.
Equally suited for the production floor, engineering lab or anechoic chamber, the Model 2223 comes complete with internal DDC, external forward and reverse sample ports, and a web-served GUI with dedicated features for simplifying integration into test applications.
For machine-to-machine (M2M) applications the 2223 utilizes TCP/IP or UDP protocol sockets. In-depth health monitoring with alarms visible on the front panel are also pushed out the LAN port.
Additional features include:
- 400Hz and DC optional;
- mismatch tolerance 3-to-1 to full rated power, 6 to 1 up to ½Psat;
- high mean time to failure (MTTFs);
- touch-screen plus remote monitoring and control via web browser;
- automatic level control (ALC) and automatic gain control (AGC) available; and
- accurate monitoring for CW/FM/AM/pulse/digital modulations.
