What's the difference between the 6-18GHz 126W SSPA Version A and Version B?

KeyLink's 6-18GHz broadband 126W solid-state power amplifier (SSPA) modules, available in stock, feature high power density and exceptional reliability, meeting the demanding requirements of modern electronic warfare, radar systems, and test and measurement. The series includes two models, the KB60180M51A and KB60180M51B, offering differentiated functional designs within the same power level, providing users with flexible options.

Common Core Advantages

Efficient Thermal Management: The fully integrated module optimizes heat dissipation to ensure long-term, high-power operation stability.

Compact and Lightweight: Both size and weight surpass those of similar products in the industry, making them suitable for space-constrained platforms (such as drones and vehicle-mounted systems).

Full-Band High Power Output: Provides stable 126W power across the 6-18GHz range, ensuring system dynamic performance.

Comprehensive Protection: Built-in overvoltage/current/temperature protection, and status alarms enhance device robustness.

Model Differentiation

1. KB60180M51A: Lightweight and Compact

Dimensions/Weight: 260 × 216 × 110 mm, weighing only 8 kg, making it the most compact design in its class. 

Key Differentiators: 

l Optimized VSWR protection ensures stable operation under harsh load conditions.

l Designed for size-sensitive applications such as airborne platforms and motion detection systems. 

2. KB60180M51B: High-Reliability and Enhanced Functionality

Dimensions/Weight: 320 × 230 × 120 mm, weighing 10 kg, balancing power and functionality expansion. 

Key Differentiators:

l Upgraded VSWR protection algorithm further enhances mismatch tolerance.

l Exclusive Reset Function: After the alarm, the amplifier is automatically locked and needs to be troubleshooted. It can work normally after reset without re-powering on. 

Application Scenarios

1. Electronic Countermeasures (ECM): Broadband, high-power jamming and suppression.

2. Radar Systems: Driving active phased array radars and target simulators.

3. Satellite Communications: Ground station uplink power amplification.

4. Test and Measurement: High-power signal generation for EMC testing, RF simulation, and other applications.
