Commodore™ Series RF Amplifiers

Ruggedised RF high-power amplifier modules for defence and operational environments, in four power classes from 10 W to 100 W. Standard models cover 20 MHz to 7.5 GHz at 28 V DC, integrated and verified under Australian Design Authority.

Features

  • Environment Ruggedised for demanding defence and operational conditions; see the environmental specification below.
  • Protection Over-temperature, over-voltage, over-current, and VSWR protection.
  • Power supply 28 V DC operation; wide-range input voltage support, plug-and-play.
  • RF performance 50 Ω matched input and output, gain stability, low-noise performance.
  • Monitoring Integrated screen control and status monitoring.

Applications

  • Communications, EW and radar subsystems
  • Ground-based RF systems
  • Vehicle-mounted defence systems
  • High-power RF with RS-485 control
