Empower RF Systems launches their innovative C-Band GaN pulsed amplifier for radar. The model 2240 is a compact, lightweight, and rugged pulsed amplifier that delivers a minimum 800 W peak power across the 5.2 to 5.9 GHz frequency range. The 2240 is ideal for radar systems that operate in C-Band, such as air traffic control, weather forecasting and maritime surveillance.

Capabilities include pulse widths from 1 to 500 μs and duty cycles up to 20 percent. It is built with the latest GaN technology, which provides high power and high efficiency. This air cooled SSPA is designed for 19 in. rack-mount or bench-top applications and is 3U in height.

Remote control and diagnostics are available via the Ethernet port to a LAN with either a web browser or machine-to-machine interface or using the Local Touchscreen panel. The control system runs an embedded OS (Linux). Empower RF’s ISO9001Quality Assurance Program assures consistent performance and the highest reliability.
