The TSA-220005-201 from Teledyne Microwave Solutions is a GaN Power Amplifier that operates from 2 to 18 GHz. It delivers a 20 W (43 dBm) saturated output power with a small signal gain of more than 55 dB. The amplifier uses control circuitry to ensure safe start-up, and automatic thermal shutdown/recovery and has an external pin for TTL ON/OFF control. It requires a DC supply of 8/22 V and consumes less than 5.5 A of current. This amplifier is available in a hermetic module that measures 2.90 x 2.00 x 0.41 inches and requires a heat sink to keep the case temperatures within a safe operating range.
