VBA2700-100D-HE Data Sheet

SPECIFICATIONS

Vectawave VBA 2700-100D-HE — 700 MHz to 2700 MHz, 100 W Dual Channel RF Power Amplifier

The VBA 2700-100D-HE is a dual-channel, 700–2700 MHz solid-state RF power amplifier delivering 100 W minimum per channel. It is a member of Vectawave’s Class AB amplifier family and is specifically designed for PIM (Passive Intermodulation) applications, while remaining well-suited for general-purpose wideband RF drive and subsystem testing. 

Built on GaN technology, the HE series emphasizes high efficiency and cost-effective performance, with protection against mismatch loads to improve survivability in real-world fixtures, antennas, couplers, and PIM test setups where load conditions can vary. 

Absolute EMC supports this product for North America (United States, Mexico, and Canada)—including application guidance for PIM test configurations, RF monitoring, and integration into automated test systems. 

 

Typical Applications

PIM Test Systems (Primary Design Intent)

  • Dual-carrier / two-tone amplification for PIM excitation
  • Stable wideband RF drive into PIM fixtures, combiners, and loads
  • Lab and production PIM characterization where consistent gain and robust load handling are required 

 

General-Purpose RF Power (700–2700 MHz)

  • Wideband subsystem drive (filters, duplexers, antennas, couplers)
  • RF immunity / RF stress screening (where 100 W/channel meets the requirement)
  • Bench and automated test (ATE) environments needing dual-path amplification 

 

Key Technical Advantages

  • Dual-channel architecture: independent RF paths to support PIM/two-tone workflows and parallel drive needs 
  • GaN design: high reliability, improved efficiency, and cost-effective performance 
  • Class AB topology: practical linearity/efficiency balance for wideband RF power 
  • Mismatch protection + unconditional stability: designed for survivability in variable-load environments 
  • Integrated sample ports: convenient forward monitoring points for leveling and measurement integration
