    TOPMW has Developed a New High-Power X-Band Amplifier Unit with 6000 W Peak Output

    TOPMW is proud to announce the successful development of a new X-band pulsed solid-state amplifier unit, TPPAU10024, which is designed for high-performance radar, satellite, and electronic warfare applications. This amplifier unit, operates over the frequency range of 8.5–9.8 GHz and delivers a peak RF output power of 6000 W, has a typical P-1dB of approximately 2 dB below peak. TPPAU10024 provides a gain of ~38 dB, ensuring efficient signal amplification from an input power of 29 dBm.

    TPPAU10024 supports fast rise and fall times of 18 ns and 33 ns, configurable pulse widths from 400 ns to 300 µs, and a maximum pulse duty cycle of 30%. Output droop is minimal at 0.6 dB, with flatness across the frequency band maintained within 1.5 dB. Phase noise is ≤ -105 dBc/Hz at 2 kHz offset, while spurious emissions remain below -65 dBc, demonstrating excellent signal purity. Harmonic output exceeds 45 dBc, surpassing standard requirements.

    TPPAU10024 is designed for AC mains operation through XCD connectors, with typical operational efficiency ranging 26–30%. Air-cooling ensures stable operation, providing 70 lb/min airflow at sea level (100°F) and 10 lb/min at 50,000 ft (60°F). Comprehensive fault protection is built-in, including over-temperature, over-current, and over/under-voltage safeguards.

    Operators can control and monitor the amplifier via RS422 interface, with real-time reporting of voltage, current, temperature, input power, trigger, and output power. RF interfaces include N-Female for input, FBE100 with pins for output, and SMA for pulse input. Compact and robust, the unit measures 467 × 360 × 260 mm and weighs 42.5 kg, making it suitable for laboratory, test range, and system integration environments.
