DM-X1K0-03 - Customised Microwave Power Amplifier
The DM-X1K0-03 is a specific example of a customer requirement to combine two of our x-band products. This is a 1kW pulsed GaN SSPA which combines 2x DM-X400 models to deliver up to 1kW in X-band with pulse widths up to 100μs and duty cycles up to 15%.
This 1kW pulsed GaN SSPA is a modular product, with an external co-ax splitter, cable control assembly, and stripline power combiner. This assembly is integrated onto the client hardware for ease of integration into the final system. This amplifier has been proven in the field in a customised arrangement for a portable X-band radar system.
- Pulsed modular X-band high-power amplifier (HPA)
- 900W min peak pulsed power
- Efficiency >20%
- Solid State alternative to TWT
- Combined 2x DM-X400 models with external combiner
- 360deg, 6-bit Electronic phase control (via I2C bus) on each amplifier
The SSPA provides an alarm to alert the host system when a temperature threshold is exceeded. The alarm condition can be set to shut down the amplifier if maximum operating temperature is exceeded
