Solid State Power Amplifier (SSPA)

We supply high-performance Solid State Power Amplifiers (SSPAs) operating from 20 MHz to 40 GHz, with output power levels from 100 W to 2.8 kW. All products are designed, engineered, and manufactured in the United Kingdom by POAM Electronics, ensuring full control over quality, reliability, and delivery.

Our amplifiers are custom-configured to meet exact system requirements, including power, frequency coverage, linearity, and pulsed or wideband operation. Ruggedised, IP67-rated enclosures are available for demanding outdoor and harsh-environment deployments.

Systems are designed and tested to meet relevant military and aerospace environmental and EMC standards, including MIL-STD-810 (environmental), MIL-STD-461 (EMC/EMI), and DO-160 (airborne), where specified. Standard models represent only a fraction of our capability; contact us to discuss a solution engineered specifically for your application.

250W Solid State Power Amplifier (SSPA) 2 to 18 GHz
Model No: WB218G250-V4 ( Hub-Mounted Model)

The PA218G250-V4 is a 250W high-performance wideband power amplifier operating across a frequency range of 2 to 18 GHz for CW and Pulse applications.

This amplifier delivers a typical output power of 54 dBm and provides a typical small-signal gain of 50 dB, with a gain variation of ±1 dB. These exceptional performance characteristics are achieved using advanced Gallium Nitride (GaN) technology.

Designed for reliability and precision, the amplifier features an SMA connector for input and an N-Type connector for output. Additionally, it includes a calibration function, allowing users to maintain optimal performance over time and across varying temperature conditions.

The amplifier is designed to operate within a wide temperature range of -40°C to +75°C, ensuring consistent performance in diverse environments. This model is designed for harsh outdoor environments; however, please contact us if you prefer the rack-mounted model.
