Advantech has begun to ship its new range of solid state power amplifiers (SSPA’s) and Block-Up Converters (BUC’s or SSPB’s) offering the benefits of GaN (Gallium Nitride) technology. Feedback from the first customers for the products, known as Advantech’s G-series, is extremely positive as they take advantage of the compact size and light weight solutions that this technology enables. As these customers spend time with the products they will also begin to notice their fantastic reliability. The MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures), when compared to equivalent GaAs (Gallium Arsenide) products, is now over 80,000 hours

The new G-series products are currently available in Ku-band and X-band frequencies.
