The bar has been raised!

Millitech now offers differentiating E-Band and W-Band solid state power amplifiers able to achieve small size and high power never before realizable.

Millitech’s Gallium Nitride (GaN) based power amplifiers represent a quantum leap in output power at E-Band and W-Band with up to 3 Watts of output power and up to 20% PAE available in standard models. These new AMP models from Millitech offer catered performance over specific allocated bands or wideband power covering 75 GHz to 102 GHz.

The E-Band (WR-12) models cover the commercially allocated 71-76GHz and 81-86 GHz bands. The W-band models cover 75-102 GHz

Each amplifier has internal bias circuitry that generates gate control voltages, provides proper voltage sequencing and incorporates reverse voltage protection from a single positive external bias.

Single device models are available with nearly 1W of saturated output power. Standard models also include 2-way and 4-way Solid State Power Amplifiers (SSPAs) with up to 3 Watts of saturated output Power. Higher powers are available. Contact Millitech for specific details.

See our complete line of amplifiers (series AMP) and low noise amplifiers (series LNA) for models covering 10-130GHz. When combined with our full band active multiplier chains (series AMC), these amplifiers make excellent high power frequency extenders for conventional microwave signal sources.
