Wavestream has introduction the company’s next generation solid state power amplifier (SSPA) for operation with GEO and NGSO constellations in the Wideband Ka-band category.
Wavestream’s new Matchbox 50W Wideband Ka GaN BUC is the next generation of the world’s most widely deployed solid state amplifier built at this power level.
Wavestream’s next-generation Matchbox 50W Ka Wideband SSPA operates in both commercial and military frequency ranges. Existing military applications using narrow-band Ka-Band amplifiers will benefit from the wideband product that has been designed as a drop-in replacement, allowing immediate access to commercial NGSO and GEO satellite constellations.
The product features a very compact light weight design and provides the same power as its previous generation, but with 52% less volume and a 60% reduction in weight.
