The Model SPA-X2-100 is a Catalog SSPA designed to fulfill various applications including Radar, Communications and Test Systems. It was designed for optimum operation in the pulse mode and utilizes proven GaAs power devices which provide high performance and reliability at X-Band.
Typical test data is shown below with Fig 1 comparing the command and resultant detected RF pulses and Fig 2 illustrating the minimal droop for a 256 usec pulse at maximum (100 Watt) RF Power Output.
- X Band
- Bandwidth: 9%
- Output Power 100W
- Pulse Width: 0.5 to 250 µs
- High Reliability
