Solid State Broadband High Power Amplifier

Solid State Broadband High Power Amplifier
2153 – BBS3O6QNQ
700 – 3800 MHz / 200 Watts
The BBS3O6QNQ (SKU 2153) is a broadband high power amplifier
suitable for ultra broadband high power linear applications, laboratory,
and RFI/EMC susceptibility testing. This amplifier utilizes GaN devices
that provide high gain wide dynamic range and good linearity.
Employing advanced broadband RF matching networks and combining
techniques, EMI/RFI filters, and all qualified components achieve
exceptional performance, and high efficiency. The system includes a
universal voltage, single phase, power supply and a built in forced aircooling system. Empower RF’s ISO9001 Quality Assurance Program
assures consistent performance and the highest reliability.
