\nGuaranteed 1 kW or 500 W RF performance over full bandwidth and temperature, which can be packaged in a 5U or 3U housing is not “typical” of product presently available in the market. Much larger rack sizes with power levels that are not sustained across an entire bandwidth and\/or temperature range are what\u2019s commonly available.<\/p>\n
In addition to this, the user interface capabilities of this amplifier that are standard with Empower next generation designs allow the user to initiate remote management and diagnostics via an embedded web server, enabling network managed site status and control simply by connecting the unit\u2019s Ethernet port to a LAN. Using a web browser and the unit\u2019s IP address (IPV4) allows ease of access with the benefit of multilevel security. The control system core runs an embedded OS (Linux).<\/p>\n

This amplifier utilizes high power LDMOS\u00a0devices that provide wide frequency response, high gain, high peak power\u00a0capability, and low distortions. Exceptional performance, long-term reliability\u00a0and high efficiency are achieved by employing advanced broadband RF
\nThis allows for internal diagnostics and troubleshooting \u2013 basically, we have a flight recorder in the amplifier. In addition, the memory features enable us to record product and configuration information at time of manufacture.<\/p>\n
\nNext generation amplifier family is designed to be actively (continuously) monitoring critical performance parameters \u2013 ie, temperature, current consumption, voltage levels, alarms, etc \u2013 and taking action via the microcontroller to initiate protection and\/or shutdown to avoid PA damage.<\/p>\n
\nThis is a “minimal touch” design which eliminates a number of manual process steps – design margin evaluation (DME) analysis and a full battery of qualification tests are integral to this product introduction. Detailed thermal simulations, heat spreading techniques, and device management all contribute to high reliability. Temperature compensation is actively running in these systems, including control down to the level of device quiescent current. Also, there is full monitoring and control of cooling fan speed and operation. When temperature is low, fan speed is reduced to prolong serviceability.<\/p>\n![\"Empower1kW\"](\"https:\/\/www.cqdx.ru\/ham\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Empower1kW.gif\")

\nmatching networks and combining techniques, EMI\/RFI filters, and all qualified\u00a0components. The amplifier is constructed within one single 5RU drawer\u00a0including the forced air-cooling. The system comes standard to operate from\u00a0180-260VAC single phase or optionally can be ordered with a three phase AC\u00a0supply.
\nThe amplifier includes a built-in control and monitoring system, with protection functions which preserve high availability. Remote\u00a0management and diagnostics are via an embedded web server allowing network managed site status and control simply by\u00a0connecting the unit\u2019s Ethernet port to a LAN. Using a web browser and the unit\u2019s IP address (IPV4) allows ease of access with the\u00a0benefit of multi-level security. The control system core runs an embedded OS (Linux), has a built-in non-volatile memory for event\u00a0recording, and factory setup recovery features. The extended memory option allows storage of control parameters and event logs.<\/p>\n\n
