dB-8061

The dB-8061 from dB Control is a GaN Solid-State Power Amplifier (SSPA) that operates from 2 to 18 GHz. It is designed for electronic countermeasures (ECM), electronic warfare (EW) and multi-band communication applications. This SSPA incorporates a power supply topology that utilizes proprietary low noise, high efficiency designs to operate the RF signal path for high output performance. It also integrates a microcontroller that provides control, protection, fault diagnostics, and status monitoring. This power amplifier delivers a CW output power of up to 200 W with a small signal gain of more than 50 dB.

The dB-8061 power amplifier can be controlled remotely via an Ethernet interface. This amplifier requires a single-phase 220 V AC supply and consumes less than 1.6 kW of power. It is available in a 19” rack-mount enclosure measuring 5.25 x 15.00 x 19.00 inches and has an SMA (female) connector at the input & an N-type (female) connector at the output port. This amplifier also integrates a forced-air cooling mechanism for thermal management.
