MtronPTI Adds a Range of Solid State Power Amplifiers

Solid State Power AmplifiersMtronPTI has announced its second product line expansion in two months: introducing a full line of solid state RF power amplifiers. MtronPTI’s new products use state-of-the-art GaN, LDMOS, GaAs FET and chip-and-wire technologies complementary to their current RF & microwave filter products. MtronPTI had announced started developing E-band millimeter wave filters to serve the expanding gigabit-per-second data market, a month back. With this new power amplifier line, they are further expanding their market and taking a critical step toward providing a complete RF signal path solution.

Solid state RF power amplifiers (SSPAs) are used in tactical radios, satellite terminals, electronic warfare, point-to-point backhauls, and medical/industrial applications. Wide bandwidth SSPAs handle complex digital modulation of public safety and defense communication infrastructure. High power CW and pulsed SSPAs serve air traffic control, weather and long range radar applications. Narrow band SSPAs help MRI systems give doctors clearer images. With this new series MtronPTI will be able to serve a broad range of clients from instrumentation through aeronautics and defense, from startups to major OEMs.

MtronPTI’s Solid State Power Amplifier product line is available immediately in small modules or rack-mountable units serving frequency ranges from 300 MHz to 26 GHz and power levels from 10 Watts to 10 Kilowatts.
