RF-Links Military-Grade 20W High-Power Amplifier (1-2.5 GHz) - Manual

ZHM 1000-2500/20
MIL GRADE HIGH POWER
AMPLIFIER 1.0 GHz TO 2.5 GHz
This a high power, broadband, silicon carbide (SiC) RF amplifier that operates from 1.0 to 2.5 GHz. It is ideal for
broadband military platforms as well as commercial applications. This RF module employs temperature compensation
to keep the gain constant over the temperature extremes. It is packaged in a modular, robust housing that is
approximately 2.5" (W) by 6.4" (L) by 1.0 (H)". This amplifier has a typical P1dB of 15 watts at room temperature.
Saturated output power across the band is typically 15-20 watts. Noise figure at room temperature is 8.0dB typical. This
amplifier offers a typical gain of 49 dB with a typical gain flatness of ± 1.0dB. Typical OIP3 is 52dBm. Input and
Output VSWR is 2.0:1 maximum. Class A current is 4.0 amps typical employing a +28Vdc supply. This PA operates
from a 28Vdc input voltage. This amplifier operates from -40C to +85 base plate.
