8508093-1 Wideband, High-Power RF Amplifier
Overview
Honeywell Model 8508093-1 is a Low Band High Power Module covers more than decade of frequency in UHF band, with ~KW of RF power. The module contains DC Power Converter, Gain stages, Final power stage, control circuit and two chill plates. The final power stage consists of modular, Basic Power Amplifiers (BPA’s), which are readily combined via Honeywell Aerospace high-power combiner modules, allowing the RF output power to be scaled up or down in order to meet specific customer ERP requirements and prime power constraints. The final stage consists of the push-pull pairs and hybrid pairs to minimize in-band harmonics.
In addition, out-of-band harmonics are further suppressed with high power low pass filter at the output port. The 8508093-Series HPA’s utilize Honeywell Aerospace developed, custom GaN devices, and can tolerate a wide range of load conditions. From a mechanical perspective, SWaP has been optimized via custom designed chill plates and flow-through cooling techniques.
