Abstract :
L3 Electron Devices has developed a new Ka-band NanoMPM®, the M1871. Like its Ku-band predecessor, the amplifier is significantly smaller than current MPM offerings yet has improved power density compared to existing MPM and SSPA products. Saturated output power is 50 W from 29 to 31 GHz with greater than 30% efficiency in a 2.5 lb package.
