The Power Genius LNA10000 is a high-performance High-Frequency (HF) amplifier designed to deliver exceptional reliability and efficiency in continuous-duty operations.

It provides up to 10 kW Peak Envelope Power (PEP) and average power, integrating eight (8) Power Genius XXL-C units, each operating at 1300W in Continuous Commercial Service (CCS) mode. The amplifier incorporates the patented Maximum Efficiency Algorithm (MEffA™) system, enhancing efficiency in single-carrier modes such as CW, digital, and FM. An advanced protection system ensures rapid fault detection and significantly reduces failure rates, underscoring our commitment to quality and reliability.

Each Power Genius XXL-C unit utilizes four high-power NXP MRF1K50H LDMOS transistors, renowned for their robustness and efficiency. The inclusion of diplexer filter designs within each unit ensures superior harmonic suppression and optimal operating conditions for the LDMOS transistors. Independent protection circuits, equipped with precise directional couplers, monitor each pair of LDMOS transistors across the 16 RF modules, guaranteeing reliable protection and continuous operation.

The system features an auto-balancing circuit that adeptly manages imbalances between modules. In the unlikely event of a module failure, the system automatically reconfigures to exclude the faulty module, maintaining operation at -3 dB output power and promptly alerting the user

SDR Transceiver Integration:

Seamless Integration of Transceiver with Power Genius LNA10000 Amplifier

The integration of a transceiver with the Power Genius LNA10000 amplifier is designed for simplicity and efficiency, ensuring optimal performance in your communication setup. The amplifier communicates bi-directionally with the transceiver, continuously monitoring and adjusting critical parameters to maintain seamless operation. ​

Key Features of Integration:

• Bidirectional Communication: The Power Genius LNA10000 establishes a two-way communication link with the transceiver, allowing for real-time monitoring and control of operating parameters. This ensures that both devices work in harmony, adapting to changing conditions to maintain optimal performance. ​
• Transceiver-Controlled Output Power: Through this integrated communication, the transceiver can dynamically control the amplifier's output power. This coordination allows for precise power adjustments, enhancing signal quality and transmission efficiency. ​
• Adaptive Pre-Distortion (APD) Support: The amplifier features a -60 dBc output, specifically designed for transceivers equipped with Adaptive Pre-Distortion capabilities. APD is a technique used to improve the linearity of radio transmitter amplifiers by preemptively correcting distortions. By providing this dedicated output, the Power Genius LNA10000 enables transceivers to utilize APD effectively, resulting in cleaner transmissions with reduced spectral regrowth and intermodulation distortion.​

This thoughtful integration of the Power Genius LNA10000 with compatible transceivers ensures a robust and adaptable communication system, capable of delivering high-quality signals across various operating conditions.
