KEY FINDINGS

COVID-19 IMPACT

Supply and Isolation Limitations to Deplete Market Advancement 

The solid state power amplifiers (SSPA) market was among those most negatively impacted by the COVID-19 outbreak in Wuhan, China, as production facilities, the majority of which are located in China, were forced to shut down, severely disrupting the supply chain. Because of the global travel ban and temporary shutdown of operations, there was a brief demand gap that has caused the solid state power amplifiers (SSPA) market share to decline.

The market saw a dramatic decline. Instead, as more people work from home, demand for computing infrastructure has increased, which has led to a rise in the need for cloud services to provide high data transfer for wireless communication. However, with the ongoing advancements the market will grow during the forecasted period.

LATEST TRENDS

Utilization in Military Applications to Stimulate Market Development  

The amplifiers are used in a range of military applications. One frequent application is to boost a radar system's power output to improve target detection. SSPAs can also be employed to strengthen satellite communications signals or to establish communication channels amongst aircraft and ground units. SSPAs are also frequently utilized in information warfare systems to block the radar and communications of adversaries. k-band and u-band Solid-state power amplifiers, or SSPAs, are employed in the Ku & Ka frequency ranges. They are perfect for a range of applications, such as communications through satellites, radar, and electronic warfare, because to their great linearity and efficiency. Owing to the utilization in military applications the market share will advance in the coming years.

For these kinds of applications, solid-state power amplifiers offer the high reliability, minimal distortion, and quick transient response needed.

RESTRAINING FACTORS

Requirement of High Current by the Amplifier to Hinder Market Advancement

The solid state power amplifiers (SSPA) are used in numerous industries due to their associated advantages. However, there are some of the disadvantages of the amplifier. One of the primary drawbacks is high current, in the range of 100 Amps, is required for the amplifier. In SSPA, power FET devices squander a lot of power at a single spot. The most difficult issue here is heating dissipation. Additionally, in this particular amplifier, power supply dependability is a top priority.

• Even with GaN, ODU units in the 200–400 W class draw ~1.45–2.25 kVA and mass ~22–48 kg, forcing heat-management tradeoffs and limiting mounting options on smaller terminals. (According to manufacturer datasheets for 400 W Ku SSPAs/BUCs.)

• According to ESA, ~42.8k catalogued space objects and >12k active satellites increase interference management complexity for uplinks, requiring tighter linearity and spectral regrowth controls in SSPAs.
