The BHCDP9881058-6000 from Stellant Systems is a GaN Solid-State Power Amplifier (SSPA) that operates from 9.8 to 10 GHz. It delivers a peak output power of 6000 W with a power gain of 68 dB. This SSPA is built using GaN technology and is based on Class AB linear design. It provides a high output power dynamic range along with excellent efficiency and low phase noise. This X-Band amplifier has spurious levels and harmonics of -60 dBc. It is equipped with forward and reverse, pulse width, and duty factor protection functions and supports a graceful degradation in the case of a RF power module failure.
The BHCDP9881058-6000 can be controlled using RS-422 interface and includes an optional digital interface for control and status monitoring. It requires an AC supply of 208 V (3-phase). This power amplifier is available in a rack-mount enclosure that measures 19.00 x 12.25 x 24.00 inches and has N-type (female) connectors at the input and WR-90 choke waveguide flange (with pressure window) at the output. It is ideal for ground, airborne, and surface long-pulse X-band radar applications.
