The DM-X200-02 from Diamond Microwave is an X-band GaN pulsed solid-state power amplifier that operates from 8.2 to 9.5 GHz. It delivers an output power of 200 Watt. The PA has a pulse width of up to 100 µs with duty cycles up to 15 %. It is available in a module that measures 220 x 150 x 41 mm with SMA and N-type female connectors and is ideal for use in demanding defense, aerospace and communications applications.
The design is flexible in layout and architecture and can be tailored to meet individual specifications. This SSPA is a “smart” product, with control and monitoring functions accessed via an ethernet port. All monitored parameters are addressable via the ethernet interface with self-protection activated if the SSPA detects that a default or user-set threshold is crossed for RF power, temperature, duty cycle or current. The SSPA will provide a visible alarm and alert the host system when a threshold is exceeded
