Solid State Broadband High Power Amplifier
2170 – BBS4A6AUT
1000 - 3000 MHz / 1000 Watts
The BBS4A6AUT (SKU 2170) is suitable for multi-octave bandwidth high
power CW, modulated, and pulse applications. This amplifier utilizes high
power LDMOS devices that provide wide frequency response, high gain, high
peak power capability, and low distortions. Exceptional performance, longterm reliability and high efficiency are achieved by employing advanced
broadband RF matching networks and combining techniques, EMI/RFI filters,
and all qualified components. The amplifier is constructed within one single
5RU drawer including the forced air-cooling. The system comes standard to
operate from 180-260VAC single phase or c an be ordered optionally with a
three phase AC supply.
The amplifier includes a built in control and monitoring system, with protection
functions which preserve high availability. Remote management and
diagnostics are via an embedded web server allowing network managed site status and control simply by connecting the unit’s
Ethernet port to a LAN. Using a web browser and the unit’s IP address (IPV4, IPV6) allows ease of access with the benefit of multilevel security. The control system core supports hardware encryption, runs an embedded OS (Linux), has a built-in non-volatile
memory for event recording, and factory setup recovery features. The extended memory option allows storage of control
parameters and event logs.
Empower RF’s ISO9001 Quality Assurance Program assures consistent performance and the highest reliability.
