Advantech receives new orders for GaN SSPA
Advantech Wireless, a Canadian satellite broadband company, has announced receiving new orders in excess of $1 million for its second generation GaN-based 250W Ku-Band solid state power amplifiers (SSPA).
The PAs are designed specifically for size and weight limited applications, with very low energy consumption and high reliability, according to the company.
"Satellite news broadcasting, emergency communication recovery, and military satcom trailers, require as much RF power as possible in a small, highly energy efficient footprint. These amplifiers must also be highly reliable and designed to operate in very harsh environments," said Cristi Damian, VP dusiness development at Advantech Wireless.
"The second generation 250W Ku-Band GaN-based SSPA is designed to meet these requirements, replace legacy older generation TWTs and SSPAs, while supporting the extremely high linearity required for complex waveforms such as DVB-S2X and Ultra HD high density broadcastsStandards."
The company will be showing these and other RF and satellite networking products at Futurecom 2016, October 17 -20 in Sao Paulo, Brazil.
