The dB-3205 from dB Control is a Microwave Power Module (MPM) that operates from 43.5 to 45.5 GHz. The amplifier provides a CW output power of 80 W with a gain of over 49 dB. It requires a DC supply of 28 V and has a power consumption of up to 900 W.
The RF signal path consists of a solid state amplifier and a vacuum power booster. The power supply topology uses proprietary low-noise, high-efficiency designs to operate the RF signal path. This compact, conduction cooled MPM has a differential/TTL control interface and is designed to operate in extreme military environments.
The amplifier is available in a module that measures 11.00 x 9.38 x 2.38 inches with Type-K/2.9mm Female connectors at the input and WR-22 waveguide interface at the output and is ideal for datalink applications.
