Mission Microwave Technologies has expanded its solid-state power amplifier lineup with the introduction of the 750W Ku-Band MOAB, completing a product portfolio that now spans from 25W to 1kW.
This new 750W Ku-Band MOAB amplifier provides 750W of Gallium Nitride (GaN) solid-state power within a 48-lb package, designed specifically for direct mounting at the antenna.
By integrating the unit closer to the feed, operators can reduce waveguide losses and increase usable RF output power while simplifying the overall system architecture. The MOAB architecture utilizes spatial power combining to achieve high efficiency, drawing 2.8 kW at linear output to minimize heat generation and operational expenses.
“The shift from TWT amplifiers to solid-state technology is accelerating across the SATCOM industry,” said Francis Auricchio, President and CEO of Mission Microwave. “With a complete portfolio of Ku-band amplifiers covering from 25 Watts up to 1 Kilowatt, we can provide operators with a scalable solid-state platform that gives them the most reliable and cost-effective solution over the life of their systems.”
Engineered for continuous gateway operation, the system supports 1:1 and 1:2 redundancy configurations for mission-critical applications.
As a leading provider of solid-state power amplifiers and block upconverters, Mission Microwave positions this high-power addition as a modern alternative to legacy Traveling Wave Tube (TWT) based systems.
The 750W Ku-Band MOAB will be featured as part of the company’s expanded solid-state lineup at the SATELLITE Show in Washington DC.
