PA Delivers 50 W Over 1500 To 2500 MHz

Dec. 11, 2007
At just 6.4 X 2.5 X 1.5 in., a Class AB linear amplifier vows to deliver 50 W of output power over the full 1500-to-2500-MHz frequency range. The Model BME158258-50 offers gain of 40 dB 1.5 dB. RF input overdrive is +10 dB. The amplifier's input ...

At just 6.4 X 2.5 X 1.5 in., a Class AB linear amplifier vows to deliver 50 W of output power over the full 1500-to-2500-MHz frequency range. The Model BME158258-50 offers gain of 40 dB 1.5 dB. RF input overdrive is +10 dB. The amplifier's input voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) is 2:1 maximum. Harmonic rejection is -25 dBc while spurious signals are specified at -60 dBc. The Model BME158258-50 operates with supplies of +23 to +32 VDC and 7.5 A current. The power amplifier requires only 2 s for PA enable and can operate into an infinite load VSWR without damage. The Model BME158258-50 operates over the -40 to +85C temperature range and weighs just 2 lbs.
