Given the availability of SDR hardware (USRPs, BladeRF, HackRF, etc) covering VHF through S/C bands, is there any interest in a wide band power amp to complement this hardware? GaN seems to be ubiquitous now, and there are medium power, 48 VDC parts available in low cost SMT packages. So I think it's feasible for something like:
50 MHz - 3 GHz bandwidth Class AB 5 - 30 VDC supply (high efficiency, high frequency boost supply) 10 dBm drive 37 dBm Psat Robust to full mismatch (open/short) Logic level enable ALC with VSWR monitoring (serial, I2C, etc) Small (cigarette pack or smaller) Low cost Open source _______________________________________________ Discuss-gnuradio mailing list Discuss-gnuradio@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss-gnuradio
