Designed to deliver extreme power and reliability, Empower RF Systems announces its newest GaN-on-SiC amplifier, the model 2245. This liquid-cooled amplifier delivers a minimum of 4100 W CW from 2 to 4 GHz with 5 kW mid-band performance. Reliability is a key feature and the result of its distributed RF architecture. With no single point of RF failure, the 2245 boasts exceptional long-term reliability.

The modular architecture allows hot or muted swapping of the integrated 2U amplifier drawers and cold swapping of the 3U system controller from the front. Swapping time is less than 15 minutes. Repair is modular, fast and easy, bringing lifetime costs down. Specialized technician training is not required and there are no dangerous high voltage supplies to contend with. Because of the architecture, only fractional system spares are needed for a complete backup system. You only need to spare a single amplifier drawer and one controller. The 2245 is the smart choice for those seeking exceptional reliability and the lowest lifetime cost of ownership.

Other power combinations are easily accommodated with the scalable design of the 2245. The amplifier system can be specified with any even number, up to 16, of 2U amplifier drawers. For even higher power, additional racks can be combined. In either case, the amplifier design effort is limited to the combiner. When it comes to delivering high power reliably, efficiently and at a lower cost, Empower RF has a validated, proven track record of fielding high-power CW and pulsed microwave amplifiers to the DOD and major prime contractors.
