Empower RF Intros 600-6000 MHz, 30W, GaN Module

Empower RF Systems Intros a 600-6000 MHz, 30W, GaN Module - RF CafeEmpower RF is pleased to announce the release of Model 1219, a single band solid state GaN module delivering a minimum 30 W (40 W typical) across its entire 0.6 to 6 GHz band. Empower RF is the first amplifier manufacturer to cover this bandwidth with an affordable COTS product. The 1219 utilizes 50 V GaN on SiC transistors which have lower leakage currents and higher thermal conductivity and is a more reliable technology than GaN on Si. An added benefit, 50 V devices require about half the input current as their 28 V counterparts which reduces power supply cost, size, and weight. This compact class AB amplifier is suitable for broadband mobile communications, jamming, and product test applications ...
