MSC2931P3540 10 Watt P1dB | 37.5 dB Gain | WR28 Output | 29.5 — 31.0 GHz Power Amplifier General Description The MSC2931P3540 is a power amplifier supplying a minimum of 10 W of output power, at P1dB, at a base plate temperature range of 25°C for use in Ka Band SATCOM uplink applications. The power amplifier operates from 29.5 to 31.0 GHz with a maximum gain of 38 dB from a single +5V supply over a base plate temperature range of -55 °C to +70 °C. The unit is equipped with current limiting for input overdrive conditions, thermal shutdown protection and a transmit enable function which are monitored or controlled thru a pin connector. The RF connections are an input 2.92 mm female and an output WR-28 waveguide. The unit is hermetically sealed and is designed for airborne environments to RTCA DO-160E including vibration, altitude, humidity, shock, fungus and waterproofness.
