Empower RF Systems Intros New Multi-Mode 200W, 1900 - 6000 MHz SSPA - RF Cafe

April 20, 2018 - Empower RF is announcing the production release of our proven Model 2215 for EMC, RF Product Test, Communications, and Electronic Warfare applications. The 2215's inherent rugged design is based off Empower's COTS family of NEXT GEN patented architecture that virtually eliminates every internal connector found in the typical RF/Microwave system amplifier. With Power supply options that include 28 V DC, 400 Hz AC, and single phase AC, the unit is equally suited for land mobile vehicle, airborne, and shipboard deployments.

Designed for optimized performance over a multitude of applications, the 2215 is a Multi-Mode power amplifier with built in modes for a variety of input modulations and application scenarios that include Frequency Hopping, QAM-xx, OFDM, Multi-carrier, Pulse, AM,FM, Barrage, and Broadband Noise. For each operating mode the output power and efficiency is maximized and the protection is optimized. Empower's flexible and programmable input and output detection scheme makes Multi-Mode operation possible and has the added advantage of future-proofing the amplifier to changes in the ever increasing complex waveform environment.

User interface capabilities of this amplifier are standard with all Empower next generation designs and allow the user to initiate remote management and diagnostics via an embedded web server or M2M interface, enabling network managed site status and control simply by connecting the unit's Ethernet port to a LAN. Using a web browser and the unit's IP address (IPV4) allows ease of access with the benefit of multilevel security.

Empower RF Systems is the technological leader in smart power amplifier solutions for EW, Threat Simulation, Radar, Communications, EMC and Product Test. Incorporating the latest semiconductor and power combining technologies with a patented architecture, we build the most sophisticated and flexible COTS system amplifiers in the world. Solutions range from tens of watts to multi-Kilowatt and include basic PA modules to intelligent scalable rack systems with AGC and ALC output modes. In addition to best-in-class SWaP, our Next Generation amplifiers have sophisticated RF detection to maximize efficiency for a variety of modulation schemes including QAM-xx, OFDM, Multi-tone, Pulse, AM, FM, and more.
