April 20, 2023 – Empower RF Systems has announced their newest GaN on SiC amplifier, the model 2245. This liquid cooled amplifier delivers a minimum of 4100W CW from 2 to 4GHz with 5kW 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 extreme Effective Mean Time Before Failure (EMTBF).
The modular architecture allows hot or muted swapping of the integrated amplifier drawers or cold swap of the 3U system controller in less than 15 minutes. Repair is modular, fast and easy, bringing life time 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 lowest lifetime cost of ownership.
