| GaN Broadband Power Amplifier |
Model SSPA 0.020-1.000-30-48V is a high power, broadband, Gallium Nitride (GaN) RF amplifier that operates from 20 to 1000 MHz. The bandwidth of this amplifier can be extended to 1200 MHz+ with similar performance. This PA is ideal for broadband military platforms as well as commercial applications because it is robust and offers high power over a multi-octave bandwidth with excellent power added efficiency. This amplifier was designed for broad band jamming and communication systems platforms. It operates with a base plate temperature of 85ºC with no degradation in the MTBF for the GaN devices inside. The unit is packaged in a modular housing that is approximately 2.5 x 6.4 x 1.06”. This amplifier has a typical P3dB of 30 to 45W at room temperature. Noise figure at room temperature is 10.0 dB maximum. This amplifier offers a typical gain of 50 dB with a typical gain flatness of +/-2.0 dB. The power and gain flatness across the band is extremely flat for the bandwidth. Input VSWR is 2.0:1 maximum.

| Lightweight ED-FPC Series™ |
The new rackmount ED-FPC Series, ranging from 3 to 5kVA, is one of the most performance-rich, lightweight and compact frequency converters on the market today. With a weight of less than 80 pounds and a compact 7” (4U) high rackmount form factor, the ED-FPC is an ideal COTS solution, delivering computer-grade power for use in aircraft, ground-based and mobile systems, such as a HMMWV. Due to its light weight and small size, the ED-FPC is a perfect solution for powering sensitive computer-based equipment from generator sources typically incorporated into single and dual-pallet shelters, as well as tactical, hospital or laboratory shelters. Furthermore, to accommodate fixed, mobile and aircraft installations, the ED-FPC is designed to meet the shock and vibration requirements of RTCA/DO160, Zone A and the Munson Road Test.

| Variable Gain Amplifier Product Line |
Two new additions to the variable gain amplifiers (VGA) product line have been announced. These innovative variable gain amplifiers are an ideal choice for use in cellular infrastructure, test and measurement or military radio systems where an accurate signal level control and high linearity is required. The HMC640LP5E is a GaAs MMIC analog variable gain amplifier that delivers a gain control range of 40 dB and an output 1 dB compression point of +23 dBm. Its consistent output third order intercept point of +40 dBm makes it a popular choice within many transceivers that operate within the 0.4 to 3 GHz frequency range. Alternatively, the HMC628LP4E is a 1 dB LSB GaAs MMIC 5-Bit digital variable gain amplifier that delivers a selectable gain range of 23 dB and an output 1 dB compression point of +19.5 dBm. Its gain accuracy is an impressive
+/-0.05 dB below 250 MHz and +/-0.4 dB up to 800 MHz. The maximum gain achieved is 14 dB with a noise figure contribution of only 5 dB. The HMC628LP5E incorporates a dual mode interface that is CMOS/TTL compatible and accepts either 3-wire serial input or a 5 bit parallel word. The HMC628LP4E also features a user selectable power up state and a serial output port for cascading other of the company’s serial controlled components.

A full line of field-replaceable SMAs for applications from DC to 26.5 GHz (and with usable performance to 31 GHz) has been announced. The connector families include models for mating with 0.012-, 0.015-, 0.018-, and 0.020-in. center pins to accommodate a wide range of RF/microwave circuit dimensions, with the smallest center pins offering the best high-frequency performance. These rugged 50 ohm field-replaceable SMAs feature passivated 303 stainless steel bodies with gold-plated center contacts and PTFE insulators for superior voltage-handling capabilities. All models are rated for maximum dielectric withstanding voltage (DWV) of 1000 V RMS at 60 Hz and sea level. The operating-voltage ratings of the connectors are a function of the center-pin dimensions. For example, connectors designed to accept 0.012-in. center pins are rated for operating voltages to 335 V RMS at sea level. Connectors designed to accept 0.020-in. center pins are rated for operating voltages to 500 V RMS at sea level. These SMAs are RF tuned to achieve mode-free performance from DC to 26.5 GHz. These reliable connectors feature VSWR of 1.07:1 or better from DC to 11 GHz, 1.25:1 or better through 20 GHz, and 1.38:1 or better through 26.5 GHz. The connectors meet the mechanical interface requirements of MIL-STD-348.

| Superior Power Amplifier Solution |
The two companies have entered into a joint technology, marketing, and support agreement in which Giga-tronics will incorporate CAP’s unique Spatium™ spatial combining technology into its GT-1000A Microwave Power Amplifier. The GT-1000A rack mount broadband power amplifier, combined with the Spatium engine, delivers outstanding performance and exceptional value for electromagnetic interference/compatibility (EMI/EMC) test, semiconductor evaluation, load pull, antenna range and microwave laboratory applications. Excellent pulse performance and modulated signal fidelity make these amplifiers ideal for defense electronic warfare (EW) and radar testing. The GT-1000A provides 2 to 20 GHz, 10W, instrumentation-grade microwave amplification and replaces traveling wave tube amplifiers (TWTAs) with rugged solid-state reliability, safe low-voltage operation, no aging characteristics, and fault tolerance. The unit saves cost and time and increases reliability by offering 2 to 20 GHz in one instrument and eliminating band switching with multiple amplifiers required with older technology. The solid-state Spatium technology delivers exceptionally broad bandwidth, high power, linearity, low noise (noise figure <8 dB), and superior harmonics (<-30 dBc, spurious <-60 dBc).
