The Exodus AMP20176 is a high-power, broadband solid-state amplifier designed for mission-critical applications that require reliable performance across the 6.0 to 18.0 GHz spectrum. It delivers a minimum saturated power of 1000 W, a typical power of 1200 W and a P1dB of 600 W. The AMP20176 is used for CW and pulsed operations for EMC/EMI testing, military communications, radar and advanced laboratory environments.

This ruggedized, rack-mounted system employs a Class A/AB linear architecture with cutting-edge GaN transistor technology, delivering a performance of 60 dB minimum, with ±2.5 dB gain flatness over its full operational bandwidth. Integrated protection circuitry safeguards against input overdrive, excessive VSWR (operating up to 4:1) and overtemperature, ensuring uninterrupted operation. Optional digital monitoring and control (DMC) provides real-time visualization of key parameters, including forward/reflected power, gain, VSWR, current and thermal data, accessible via a full-color touchscreen interface or remotely through Ethernet, USB, RS422/RS485 or optional GPIB connections.

The AMP20176 is housed in a standard 40U rack configuration. It weighs approximately 450 kg and includes four 8U amplifier drawers and a 3U intelligent controller. It operates from 200 to 240 VAC, has a 3-phase input and draws approximately 20 kW at full-rated power. A quiet-cool closed-loop air-liquid cooling system maintains stable thermal performance in ambient conditions from 0°C to +50°C.

Optional features such as forward and reflected RF sample ports, calibrated power monitoring with offset correction and safety interlocks increase versatility for integration into automated systems or deployed field installations.

Exodus Advanced Communications specializes in LDMOS, GaN HEMT and GaAs technologies, manufacturing high-power amplifiers, broadband amplifiers, pulse amplifiers for radar and HIRF, as well as low-noise amplifiers and multi-band systems spanning 10 kHz to >75 GHz.
