Empower RF Systems Delivers New Solid State GaN on SiC Amplifiers Producing a Minimum 2 kW Across the Entire 900 to 1600 MHz Band.

Empower RF Systems Intros 2 kW L-Band Solid State Amplifier for GPS Denial - RF Cafe

October 21, 2019 - Empower RF Systems' Model 2226 is a compact high power GaN solid state CW emitter designed for GPS denial and is based on the established and field proven Next Generation system architecture. This architecture is tactically deployed and operating on multiple levels in support of a variety of critical DOD missions.

Equally suited for Jamming, Threat Simulation, Multipaction, HIRF, and Automotive EMC applications the 2226 comes complete with internal DDC, external forward and reverse sample ports, and an easy to use web served GUI. In depth health monitoring with alarms visible on the front panel are also pushed out the LAN port. Output modes include Manual Gain Control (MGC), AGC and ALC which provide useful flexibility when integrating into various applications.

Empower RF SystemsModel #2226 Specifications - RF Cafe

The 2226 is designed with the latest 50 V GaN on SiC device technology which lowers transistor count and reduces combining losses while increasing efficiency and reliability. In addition to the standard array of user configurable, multi-mission mode settings, this amplifier offers user selectable "Graceful Output Power Degradation," backing down power to a safe operating level in the event of component failure or excessive Load VSWR condition.

The amplifier includes a built-in control and monitoring system, with protection functions which preserve high availability. Remote management and diagnostics are via an embedded web server allowing 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 multi-level security. The control system core runs an embedded OS (Linux),has a built-in non-volatile memory for event recording, and factory setup recovery features. The extended memory option allows storage of control parameters and event logs.
