New York-based Comtech PST Corp. has introduced its small-form-factor integrated radio frequency (RF) gallium nitride power amplifier for communications, electronic warfare (EW) and radar transmitter systems where space, cooling and power are limited.
The gallium nitride solid-state power amplifier operates at frequencies from 7 GHz to 11 GHz and is designed for traveling wave tube and microwave power module replacement.

The power amplifier features standard RF power output of more than 200 W; minimum RF power output at 50 Ohms of 170 W; typical gain at power output of more than 53 decibels; a maximum RF input overdrive of 5 decibel-milliwatts; typical gain flatness at 0 decibel-milliwatts input of ±0.5 decibels; maximum input/output voltage standing wave ratio of 2.0:1; noise output power of less than -90 decibel-milliwatts per Hertz; open/short tested for stability; and built-in test for over-current and over-temperature faults.
The device features a nine-pin combo D connector for a DC control interface; DC input of 24 V to 32 V DC; operating temperature of -40° C to 65° C; environmental: shock and vibration per MIL-STD-810F; operation at altitudes as high as 10,000 ft; and measures 8 inches by 6 inches by 2.5 inches, with a weight of 6 lb.
