Spotlight On Electronic Warfare

Power Amplifier Solutions For EW-Electronic Attack
Empower RF designs and manufactures ultra-broadband power amplifiers for counter IED systems and CREW IED jammers. These vehicle-mount and dismounted electronic warfare jammers are designed to prevent activation of Radio Controlled Improvised Explosive Devices (RCIED) by effectively disrupting radio communications that trigger such devices.


Rugged TWTAs For Critical Military Applications
dB Control’s high-power, helix and coupled cavity traveling wave tube amplifiers are built to withstand harsh environmental conditions, covering the 1- to 50-GHz frequency range with continuous wave or pulsed power.  Since 1990, dB Control TWTAs have been field tested for radar, electronic countermeasures (ECM), data links, communications, and instrumentation applications.


Microwave Antenna Solutions
This brochure outlines several hundred antenna designs including flat panel, sector, omni, hemi omni and ultra-wideband antennas used in applications such as UAVs, helicopters, aircraft, missiles, weather buoys, and satellites.


DAS Components
JFW's passive RF components product line (to include attenuators/terminations and power dividers) have been designed to meet LTE-MIMO-DAS deployments and upgrades due to the increased demands of MIMO on Distributed Antenna Systems (DAS).


High Frequency LNAs With Broad-Bandwidth And Low Noise For EW Applications
By combining or cascading multiple MMIC amplifier chips these LNAs are ideal for applications that require higher gain or greater output power.  The broad bandwidth and low noise of the series makes them perfect for a wide range of applications including radiometry, EW systems, instrumentation, and radar systems. 


Microwave VME/VXS Tuner
The SRX-00140-VME microwave VME/VXS tuner is ideal for any application involving SIGINT for Electronic Intelligent (ELINT) and Communications Intelligence (COMINT). It features an incredibly fast tuning speed, a small size, and a low phase noise. Download the datasheet for a detailed description and information on specifications.
