The AA-1826G-200 from Advanced Amplifiers is a Solid-State Power Amplifier (SSPA) that operates from 18.0 to 26.5 GHz. It delivers a saturated output power of more than 200 W with more than 53 dB of gain. This SSPA has a Class A/AB linear design, offering high efficiency with excellent reliability and ruggedness. It has spurious levels of -20 dBc and harmonics of -30 dBc. This amplifier provides instantaneous ultra-wide bandwidth over a wide operating temperature range. It includes built-in protection with extensive monitoring capabilities of parameters such as VSWR, output power, voltage, current, harmonics, and gain.
The AA-1826G-200 has a local LCD along with remote flexible interfaces such as Ethernet, RS422, RS485, GPIB, and USB. It requires an AC supply of 180-260 V and consumes less than 5000 W of power. This power amplifier is available in a 12U rack-mount enclosure that measures 483 x 532 x 800 mm and has a 2.92 K (female) / WR42 waveguide output interface. It is ideal for EMI/RFI labs, CW/pulse, and EW communication applications.
