gain flatness is ±2.0 dB across the band. Noise Figure
is 5.5 dB typical at 25ºC. Input VSWR is 2.0:1 maximum.
Output VSWR is 2.0:1 maximum. This unit is equipped
with Aethercomm's proprietary DC switching circuitry
that enables and disables the DC-DC circuitry in
500/600 nSec typical on this unit. Standard features
include reverse polarity protection, output short and
open circuit protection, and an integrated DC-DC
converter with over/under voltage protection. This
power amplifier operates from a +12 Vdc power supply
with a class A bias of typically 17.0 amps. This amplifier
operates from -40C to +65C base plate temperature.
This SSPA is ideal for X Band communication and
radar systems that require high reliability, excellent
linearity and high power in a rugged and compact
module. Standard housing size is approximately
