High-efficiency industrial 130 kW cw solid-state RF amplifier for 1.3 GHz

May 10, 2023 | News

As part of the Lighthouse project, Cryoelectra, in close collaboration with RI Research Instruments, has developed and successfully commissioned a state-of-the-art 1.3 GHz solid-state RF amplifier.

The system delivers over 130 kW of continuous output power with an impressive 63% efficiency, based on a scalable modular design using advanced GaN technology. Its compact architecture ensures high power density, while an intelligent control and cooling system enables reliable 24/7 operation.

Designed with reliability and maintainability in mind, modules can be replaced within minutes, and built-in redundancy allows continued operation even in the event of component failures.

This achievement highlights the strong partnership between Cryoelectra and RI Research Instruments, combining expertise in RF development and system integration to deliver a high-performance solution on time.

Conclusion: A powerful example of cutting-edge RF technology—and successful collaboration.
