White Paper: New Linear GaN Amplifiers are Powerful and Efficient The transformation of solid-state amplifiers for satellite communication systems from use of Gallium Arsenide (GaAs) transistors to Gallium Nitride (GaN) transistors has occurred at an astonishing rate. Not long ago nearly all comms SSPAs were built using GaAs technology, and now it would be hard to find a recently developed satcom SSPA that was not built using GaN

Applications

The new product line includes the Puma 200X (100 Watt linear X-band), Puma 300X (150 Watt linear X-band), Puma 400X (200 Watt linear X-band); the Puma 400Ku (200 Watt linear Ku-band); the Puma 80Ka (40 Watt linear Ka-band), and Puma 120Ka (60 Watt linear Ka-band), each weighing between 15 and 50 lbs. These powerful Puma SSPAs come with optional internal L-band BUCs, including a range of single and multi-band BUC options for the 27.5 to 31.0 GHz Ka-band. They also incorporate internal redundancy switching, provide extensive attenuation control, data logging and web GUI availability, and optional internal frequency reference.

“If you need a sleek, powerful SSPA or BUC to speed up your transportable terminal – you need a Puma!”

Features

• Low Cost Operation
• Small and Light – 4 lb to 10 lb feed-mount packages
• Single-band and Multi-band Block Up-Converter (BUC)
• High Efficiency – Low power draw, optional battery save and keyline modes
• Rugged – Weatherized for -40°C to +60°C Operation, MIL-STD-810 environment
• Internal RF Filters and M&C System
• Powerful – 16W up to 50W linear power per MIL-STD-188-164
• Flexible – Interchangeable X-, Ku- and Ka-band Bobcats Options for multiple Ka-bands, and SNMP v3

Applications

The new product line includes the Bobcat 50X (25 Watt linear X-band); the Bobcat 64Ku (32 Watt linear Ku-band); and the Bobcat 32Ka (16 Watt linear Ka-band BUC), each in about 110 cu in and weighing 4 to 5 lbs. Even in this small package you don’t have to give up on features. The 5-pound Bobcats still have extensive attenuation control and calibration capability, data logging and web GUI availability, and security features such as the optional SNMP v3 implementation.
