The LW10-797597 from Linwave Technology is a GaN Solid State Bi-Directional Amplifier that operates from 1.3 to 2.7 GHz. In Tx mode, it delivers a saturated output power of +37 dBm (5 W) with a large signal gain of 20 dB and an efficiency of 40%. In Rx mode, it provides a gain of 20 dB and has a noise figure of less than 3 dB. This amplifier has an auto Tx/Rx switching time of less than 125 μs and built-in protection with auto-shutdown. It has spurious levels of better than -65 dBc and third order harmonics of -20 dBc. The amplifier requires a DC supply of 28 V, consumes less than 2 A of current in Tx mode and 1 A of current in Rx mode.
The LW10-797597 is available in an IP66-rated module that measures 82.6 x 50.8 x 22.4 mm with SMA-female connectors and is ideal for use in airborne, aircraft & UAV equipment, the power amplifier stage for wireless infrastructure, RF telemetry and software-defined radios applications.
