Demand for more data bandwidth is pushing operating frequencies up
and modulation toward more complex constellations. The MtronPTI
PA3028 Solid State Power Amp provides 5 Watts across the K-Band
from 18.0 to 26.5 GHz off a 9 volt power supply.
MtronPTI’s line of Solid State Power Amplifiers is backed by a
multi-national design and manufacturing team with more than 150
years combined PA design experience. MtronPTI’s continuing focus
on client service ensures full program life engineering support from
specification to production to next generation architecture planning.
