Key highlights
The X-Band 13 W High-Gain SSPA Module is designed for X-band transmitters operating from 9-10 GHz, providing 13 W saturated output, 24 dB small-signal gain and 38% average PAE. It is suited to compact X-band satellite downlinks, Earth observation payloads and radar transmit chains that need high gain and efficient RF output from a solid-state amplifier module. Akash's Diamond Cooling® and GaN RF technology benefits are relevant for X-band payloads where thermal performance, RF efficiency and compact integration directly affect mission power budgets and downlink capability.
Applications
X-band satellite downlink, Earth observation data transmitters, X-band radar, smallsat RF payloads, CubeSat transmit chains, high-gain SSPA modules, DVB-S2X X-band radios, remote sensing missions.
