Integra launches L-band GaN-on-SiC amp
Integra Technologies, a US RF and microwave specialist, has released a new RF power amplifier module/pallet designed to solve various size, weight, power, and cost challenges (SWaP-C) in high-performance L-band avionic systems.
IGNP1011L2400 is a high power GaN-on-SiC RF power amplifier module/pallet that has been designed specifically for Identification Friend or Foe/Secondary Surveillance Radar (IFF/SSR) systems operating under either Mode S ELM (48x {32μs on, 18μs off}, 6.4 percent Long Term Duty Cycle) or standard Mode S (128μs, 2 percent Duty Cycle) pulse conditions.
It supplies a minimum of 2200W of peak output power, with typically >16 dB of gain and 57 percent efficiency and operates from a 50V supply voltage.
This RF power amplifier module/pallet is matched to 50-ohms at both input and output and is suitable for both 1030 and 1090 MHz.
