High-Power Pulsed Amplifier Module Serves X-band Radar Requirements

June 16, 2022
Empower RF’s latest pulsed amplifier module provides over 250 W peak output with pulse widths up to 500 µs.

This article is part of our IMS2022 coverage.

At IMS2022, visit Empower RF’s Booth 9020 to learn about its Model 1222 high-performance X-band pulsed module designed for new radar applications in which portability and extended range are key requirements.  Operating from 9 to 10 GHz, Empower’s 1222 provides over 250 W peak output power in a compact pulse module featuring pulse widths up to 500 µs and 20% duty cycles.

The 1222 module utilizes 48-V GaN-on-SiC devices and is lightweight, highly reliable, and rugged. It takes less than 250 ns to enable or disable, and gain settings can be done in analog or digital fashion

Built-in protections with alarm include overtemperature, overvoltage, reverse polarity, overcurrent, temperature reporting, and current reporting.
