CAP Wireless, Inc. (CAP) has debuted their KS5388, a high performance, solid state, power amplifier that is ideally-suited for use as a broadband driver or moderate power output stage in instrumentation and electronic warfare (EW) simulation. The KS5388 can also be used as a receiver amplifier in broadband, high-dynamic-range receiver systems and combines the advantages of high-frequency gallium arsenide (GaAs) device performance and reliability with CAP’s broadband, high power, high temperature co-fired ceramic (HTCC) device packaging to provide a cost-efficient solution with outstanding broadband power amplification. The unit efficiently achieves five watts of power amplification from six to 18 GHz and includes a copper heat spreader to optimize heat dissipation and enhance reliability. Typical applications include electronic counter measures (ECM, ECCM), multi-band communications, signal simulators, and instrument and test equipment.
