The 2175/BBS2E4ARR solid state broadband high power amplifier from Empower RF Systems is suitable for multi-octave bandwidth, high-power continuous wave, modulated, and pulsed applications and is now in stock at Richardson RFPD. It utilises high-power LDMOS devices that provide wide frequency response, high gain, high peak power capability, and low distortions.

The performance, long-term reliability and high efficiency are achieved by employing advanced broadband RF matching networks and combining techniques, EMI/RFI filters, and all qualified components. 

The amplifier is constructed within a single 3RU drawer, including the forced air-cooling, and includes a built-in control and monitoring system, with protection functions which preserve high availability. Remote management and diagnostics are available via an embedded web server.
