Power Amplifier-(29.5-31.0 GHz)-MSC2931P3540 ( 277.92 kB )

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.
