2 GHz to 6 GHz, 500 W Power Amplifier

The HMC8113 is a 500 W, gallium nitride (GaN), monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC), power amplifier (PA) module that operates between 2 GHz and 6 GHz, provided in an EIA-310D standard 5U 19-inch rack mount chassis. The amplifier typically provides 85 dB of small signal gain and 57 dBm of saturated radio frequency (RF) output power. The amplifier draws 3390 W of power from a 220 VAC supply. The RF inputs and outputs are dc blocked and matched to 50 Ω for ease of use.
