The BHCDP938988-4000 from Stellant Systems is a GaN solid-state power amplifier that operates from 9.3 to 9.8 GHz in the X-band. This Class AB amplifier delivers a pulsed peak output power of up to 4000 W with a gain of 66 dB and requires a 50 VDC supply. It is available in a module that measures 12.5 x 13 x 9 inches with a TNC (F) connector at the input and a WR-90 interface at the output with an Ethernet (RJ-45) control interface.
The amplifier design features self-protection for Load VSWR, Duty Factor, Pulse Width, Temperature, as well as graceful degradation in case of an RF power module failure. Custom configurations and features are available as well as customer-specific power levels up to 16 kW. This amplifier is ideal for ruggedized pulsed Radar applications.
