Amplifier ups efficiency, compression with GaAs
Operating from 10 kHz to 400 MHz with a saturated power level of 110 W, the CBA 400M-110 Class A broadband amplifier uses GaAs ICs to provide better compression characteristics and efficiency than comparable silicon-based power amplifiers. The amplifier is designed for EMC testing with non-ideal load conditions due to mismatch, such as in automotive, military, and aerospace applications.
The amplifier’s Class A push-pull design ensures linear performance with high reliability and low distortion across the operating range, as well as continued operation at full power even when an open or short is present. Harmonics are better than −20 dBc at 80 W output, and the unit’s switched-mode supply ensures a high power factor and wide voltage operating range. (About $18,000 — available now.)
