Critical technologies and capabilities required for this application

With today’s increasingly fast-paced demand for wireless technology and the recent expansion of the wireless market into 4G/LTE/WiMAX, available airspace is shrinking. This narrowing of frequency band distribution is forcing regulatory commissions, like the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in the United States, to demand increasingly sophisticated Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)/Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) design standards. Simultaneously, the users and their devices generate and receive these signals in ever increasing numbers. This prevalence of RF devices drives increased requirements for military, industrial, scientific, personal and wireless communications susceptibility and immunity testing.

How Empower is positioned to support these applications

Empower RF Systems, Inc is a global leader in radio frequency amplifiers. Empower designs 10 KHz to 6 GHz power amplifiers with output power from 10 Watts to multiple kWatts customized to customer requirements. Empower provides broadband and general communication amplifiers that match commonly used frequencies. With our available touch screen LCD and Ethernet interface option, remote operation is made simple. Empower offers the latest in Class A and AB amplifiers that provide infinite load VSWR protection with low distortion signals. This broad range of capable amplifiers is ideal for EMC/EMI and ISM susceptibility applications. Empower’s ability to customize options, transmit clean signals with low harmonics and cater to the application of the end-user, provides the flexibility needed to thoroughly test equipment.

Empower RF Systems has extensive experience with Multi-Function, Highly-Integrated Assemblies. Customer-specific requirements are met by incorporating Integrated Filters, T/R switches, DC/DC Converters, Forward/Reverse Power detectors and RCV LNAs into the Amplifier.
