Solid State High Power Amplifier: AMP20097 Datasheet

The AMP20097 is a high-power solid-state pulse amplifier developed by Exodus Advanced Communication, designed for EMI/RFI, laboratory, and High-Intensity Radiated Fields (HIRF) pulse applications.

This Class AB linear amplifier operates across an instantaneous C-band frequency range of 4.0 to 8.0 GHz, offering exceptional reliability and performance in high-power pulse environments.

The amplifier delivers a typical peak pulse output power of 2.0 kW, with pulse widths ranging from 5 to 100 microseconds, a maximum duty cycle of 10%, and a pulse repetition frequency (PRF) up to 100 kHz. It boasts a high power gain of 63 dB minimum and gain flatness within 3 dB peak-to-peak, allowing precise signal control with a gain adjustment range of at least 20 dB. Harmonic and spurious outputs are tightly controlled at -20 dBc and -60 dBc respectively.

Built-in protections include input overdrive, load VSWR (4:1 max), and TTL gate control for output on/off switching with an 80 dB ratio. The AMP20097 also features advanced monitoring via optional Digital Monitor and Control (DMC), which provides real-time readings of forward/reflected power, gain, voltage, current, and temperature.

Housed in a 7U rackmount chassis (483 x 310 x 700 mm) and weighing approximately 37 kg, the unit is cooled via a quiet, closed-loop air-liquid system. Environmental specs support operation from 0°C to +50°C and storage down to -40°C.

Connectivity options include Ethernet, USB, RS422/485, and optional GPIB. With robust mechanical and electrical features, the AMP20097 is ideal for demanding high-power pulse applications in military and commercial environments.
