The VSL3616 GaN SSPA is a 1.3 GHz, 700 watt CW, liquid-cooled solid state power amplifier (SSPA). It has exceptional amplitude and phase stability and is being used to drive the VKL9130A1 IOT in CPI’s VIL410 30 kW CW IOT transmitter. The VSL3616 SSPA is configured in a 19 inch rack mount enclosure. Higher power levels can be obtained by power combining multiple VSL3616 SSPAs. The VSL3616 SSPA has been designed for very tight amplitude and phase control. The amplitude ripple and phase ripple are specified to be better than 0.05% rms and better than 0.2 degrees rms, respectively. The stability of the output power is specified to be better than 0.1% over any 20 second period of time. This paper will describe the design and operation of the VSL3616 SSPA. Results from a 1000 hour life test will be presented.
