Empower RF is announcing the availability of their fielded Model 2203 high power amplifier, which operates from 1 to 30 MHz and delivers a minimum of 1 KW CW. The 2203 is capable of operating in multi-domain scenarios as a jamming or communications transmitter with any type of modulation (AM, FM, multi-tone, pulse, PSK, FSK and complex digital modulation).
The 2203 is designed with the latest 50 V LDMOS device technology, which lowers transistor count and reduces combining losses, increasing efficiency and reliability. In addition to the standard array of user-configurable, multi-mission mode settings, the amplifier offers user selectable "graceful output power degradation," backing down power to a safe operating level in case of component failure or excessive load VSWR.
