MKU PA 13500 CU

Linear Power Amplifier for the 23 cm Band

1240 ... 1300 MHz • 500 W

Big power, high efficiency and best linearity are achieved by our high power amplifier for the 23cm band. In comparison to tube power amplifiers, the new LDMOS transistors need a supply of only +26 V or 28V. High voltage transformers, waiting for the tube warm-up and retuning of the tube are the past! Safe operation is guaranteed by the internal overheat protection. The built-in sequencer can be used to control other devices like preamplifiers or coaxial relays. An output power of 1 kW is achieved by combining two MKU PA 13500 CU amplifiers. This is ideal for EME (earth-moon-earth operation)!
