The MPA-2G-18G-50 from Maury Microwave is a GaN Power Amplifier that operates from 2 to 18 GHz. It delivers a saturated CW output power of 50 W with a small signal gain of more than 49 dB and provides high linearity for wideband communications testing. This amplifier uses a state-of-the-art GaN process and has integrated protection circuitry. It is burn-in, and aging tested for high reliability which includes prolonged storage under extreme temperature conditions, extended amplifier operation over the entire rated temperature range, and elongated usage at maximum power under CW and pulsed-CW conditions. The amplifier is available in a module that measures 526 x 432 x 147 mm with N-type (female) connectors and has an operating temperature range from 0°C to 50°C.
