Advantech Wireless has announced the release of the Second Generation Gallium Nitride (GaN) Technology based 125 to 200 Watt Ka-Band UltraLinear Solid State Power Amplifier / Block Upconverter (SSPA/BUC) products. Following the success of their 100 W Ka-Band GaN-based units which have been adopted by several military organizations, they have launched a new series of Ka-Band GaN-based SSPAs/BUCs.
The new UltraLinear GaN based SSPAs are designed to operate in harsh outdoor environments and have been designed for Ka-Band LEO and GEO satellite up-link applications. The GaN-based SSPB-4010Ka series are integrated units, complete with detachable power supply, phase-locked oscillator, mixer, filter and a proprietary cooling mechanism. Intended for outdoor operation, the 2nd Generation of GaN-based systems are the most advanced GaN based Ka-Band units in the market providing higher power and higher reliability.
