The Comtech PST BHC88148-100 is a Class AB solid-state power amplifier engineered for continuous wave operation across the 850 MHz to 1.45 GHz band. This linear amplifier supports multiple modulation formats—AM, FM, Phase, CW, and Pulse—making it suitable for diverse RF applications. The unit delivers 100 W output at P1dB saturation and achieves harmonic suppression of -30 to -12 dBc with spurious rejection at -60 dBc. Input and output impedance matching is maintained at 1.30:1 and 2.00:1 VSWR respectively.
