Filtronic launches E-band solid-state power amplifier (SSPA)
Filtronic, a world leader in high frequency RF design and manufacturing, today announced the launch of the Cerus 32 range of E-band SSPAs. The latest addition to this expanding range of power amplifiers for terrestrial and non-terrestrial communications further expands plus the limits of performance. Based on proven Cerus power combining technology, this new design redefines the bar for performance. The Cerus 32 is highly configurable, offering an improved user interface and seamless integration.
The amplifiers can be easily customized to improve integration and are available as stand-alone SSPAs with WR12 input on top and output on bottom, or with input and output on bottom. Additionally, they can be supplied with a powerful integrated Morpheus transceiver and high-power diplexer, providing a high-power integrated transceiver module, ideal for low-Earth orbit applications.
