Empower RF Systems is pleased to release additional, industry leading power amplifier models that compliment the frequency coverage and power level “footprint” of their next generation, high power PA product family. Model 2175, covering 80 to 1000 MHz and delivering 500 W of broadband output power in a 3U, air cooled chassis is market released and available for immediate purchase. Offering unrivaled size / power advantages and building on a design architecture that has been a catalyst for technology upgrades from customers with diverse requirements from multiple markets, Model 2175 provides excellent performance for end applications that include, but are not limited to, test and measurement, electronic warfare, and communications. This unit is the “baby brother” to the highly successful 2162 (1 kW in 5U chassis) and both models are included in Empower’s inventory program with Richardson RFPD: http://www.empowerrf.com/products/distribution.php

In addition to the size / power density breakthrough that has been solidified with the market introduction of this 80 to 1000 MHz, 500W amplifier in a 3U chassis, additional features include:
