Applications: • Pulsed radars • Airborne radars CPI’s VSX3630 Solid State Power Amplifiers are rugged, reliable, and easy to maintain. The VSX3630 Solid State Power Amplifier is designed for use in radar applications and covers the 7.8 – 9.8 GHz frequency band. GaN transistors are combined into 900 W bricks which are air cooled. The 900 W bricks can be power-combined using waveguide combiners for higher power transmitters. • TWTA replacements Optimized for Pulsed Radars This amplifier utilizes GaN transistors to provide high gain, high efficiency and excellent pulse fidelity. The result is excellent AM/PM, phase-noise and spectral regrowth performance. •• Solid Power Amplifiers Amplifiers• •Integrated IntegratedMicrowave Microwave Assemblies Solid State State Power Assemblies ••Receiver ControlComponents Components• •Transmitters Transmitters • Amplifiers Receiver Protectors Protectors •• Control • Amplifiers •• Modulators Magnetrons• •Crossed CrossedField FieldAmplifiers Amplifiers Modulators •• Magnetrons • Ring Loop Loop Traveling TravelingWave WaveTubes Tubes• •Power PowerCouplers Couplers Beverly Microwave Division www.cpii.com/bmd X-Band GaN Solid State Power Amplifier - VSX3630 Frequency Range Specifications Saturated Peak RF Output Typical Pulse Width Maximum Pulse Droop Maximum Duty Cycle Output Power Flatness Nominal Small Signal Gain 7.8 to 9.8 GHz 900 W 1 to 100 µsec 0.6 dB 15% Dependent on operating bandwidth 38 dB Maximum Input VSWR 1.5:1 Maximum Output VSWR 1.5:1 Maximum Harmonic Output Maximum Interpulse Thermal Noise Noise Power Density NTIA Compliance -35 dBc -160 dBm/Hz -100 dBc in a 1 MHz bandwidth With appropriately shaped input pulse Prime Power Specifications Ambient Temperature Relative Humidity -30C to +50C operating 100% non-condensing Altitude Operating Non-operating Shock and Vibration Cooling 30,000 ft. 70,000 ft.
