Empower RF Systems has launched its new innovative C-band GaN pulsed amplifier, the Model 2240, for radar applications. The Model 2240 is a compact, lightweight, and rugged pulsed amplifier that delivers a minimum 800 W peak power across the 5.2 to 5.9 GHz frequency range. The amplifier is ideal for radar systems that operate in the C-band, such as air traffic control, weather forecasting, and maritime surveillance. Capabilities include pulse widths from 1 to 500 μsec and duty cycles up to 20%. It is built with the latest GaN technology, which provides high power and high efficiency. This air-cooled SSPA is designed for 19” rack mount or benchtop applications and is 3U in height.
Remote control and diagnostics for the Model 2240 are available via the Ethernet port to a LAN with either a Web browser or M2M (Machine-to-Machine) interface or using the Local Touchscreen panel. The control system runs an embedded OS (Linux). Empower RF’s ISO9001 Quality Assurance Program assures consistent performance and the highest reliability.
