The 2240 from Empower RF Systems is a Pulsed Solid State Power Amplifier that operates from 5200 to 5900 MHz. It delivers a peak pulsed output power of more than 1 kW, a CW output power of more than 200 W, and has a power gain of more than 65 dB. The amplifier has a duty cycle of 0.5-20 % and a pulse width from 1-500 μs at a maximum duty cycle. It has a built-in control and monitoring system with protection functions.
The 2240 offers remote management and diagnostics via an embedded web server through a LAN connection using its ethernet port. The control system core runs an embedded OS (Linux), has a built-in non-volatile memory for event recording, and factory setup recovery features. It also has an extended memory option that allows the storage of control parameters and event logs. The amplifier has an LCD display, an RS-232 interface as standard or an RS-422 interface, and is USB 1.x/2.0 compatible for mass storage.
The 2240 is available in a rack-mount enclosure that measures 17.00 x 5.25 x 22.00 inches with N-type/SMA/BNC female connectors. It has built-in forced air cooling and is ideal for various pulse & CW applications.
This amplifier requires an AC supply voltage of 100-240 V and consumes under 1300 W of power.
