A new rugged RF amplifier module labeled the BBM2E4ALP covers 20 to 1000 MHz. To guarantee use in very extreme conditions, the 125-W amplifier is built within a ruggedized CNC-machined housing. At 1-dB gain compression, it delivers at least 80 W of output power with a minimum of 51 dB of gain. The BBM2E4ALP typically delivers 125 W of continuous-wave (CW) output power. It exhibits input return loss of 10 dB with a 10-dB noise figure. The amplifier features third-order intermodulation of -38 dBc. At +42 dBm/tone, it offers a twotone third-order intercept point of +56 dBm. The amplifier features -20 dBc second- and third-order harmonics at a 100-W output. The BBM2E4ALP measures less than 6.75 inches long and 1.25 inches thick.
