Product overview
The SSPA 7.5-10.0-1000 is an X-band GaN RF amplifier for space-based sensing and LEO operation. It covers 7.5–10 GHz and is described for pulsed RF operation. The module provides external blanking, temperature and health monitoring, and protection against supply faults and RF-output open or short circuits. RF interfaces comprise an SMA female input and WR-90 waveguide output, with DSUB DC and logic connections. Baseplate temperature defines the thermal operating range. The source disagrees on whether its 1000 W headline is typical or minimum, so that qualifier requires resolution.
