Product overview
The SSPA 20.0-24.0-20 is a GaN amplifier covering 20–24 GHz. The module provides 20 W typical RF output and operates from a 28 VDC supply. Its enclosure is designed for high shock and vibration environments. The RF path uses an SMA female input and WR-42 waveguide output, with DC and logic connections available through feedthrough pins. Integrated functions include reverse-polarity protection, output open/short protection and overtemperature shutdown. Temperature ratings refer to the module baseplate.
