Product overview

The SSPA 2.5-6.0-50 is a GaN RF amplifier covering 2.5–6 GHz for broadband military and commercial systems. Its modular enclosure integrates external blanking control and protection against supply overvoltage, undervoltage and reverse polarity, along with output open and short circuits. SMA female connectors carry the RF input and output, and a nine-pin DSUB provides DC and command connections. The page specifies a 28 VDC nominal supply and a baseplate operating-temperature range. Output-power values remain subject to confirmation because the source lists different P3dB ranges.
