Product overview

The SSPA 27.0-31.0-20 is a Ka-band GaN RF amplifier with a WR-28 waveguide output and SMA female RF input. Its 28 VDC-powered module includes external blanking, reverse-polarity protection, output open/short protection and overtemperature shutdown. DC and logic connections use feedthrough pins. The enclosure is designed for high shock and vibration requirements, with operating-temperature limits specified at the baseplate. The page contains conflicting lower frequency limits, so the exact operating-band boundary requires confirmation for the selected configuration.
