Description
MaXentric proposes the GAU2x2 wideband power amplifier system. The design combines MaXentric’s wideband RF PA technology with advanced digital signal processing in a single small footprint package. This tight integration is made possible through the extremely high efficiency and low power dissipation. Since very little power is dissipated as heat, the package and heat sink size can be minimized. Integration has benefits in terms of cost and reproducibility as well. The RF PA requires no calibration or tuning allowing GAU2x2 modules to be directly plugged into systems out of the box. The system leads to a minimization of weight, heat and bulk. This allows for a single system to replace the multiple RF PAs currently carried by service members. During Phase II the GAU2x2system will be prototyped, tested and delivered.
