Innovations In Pulse Fidelity For High-Power GaN Radar And EW Transmitters

This article discusses the correction of pulse droop and rising edge overshoot with data from Empower’s 40 kW L-band long duty cycle liquid cooled pulsed amplifier, Model 2237.

An Introduction To Passive Radar Systems

This white paper introduces the concept and operating principles of passive radar systems. We review the basics of bistatic radars and introduce the concept of emitters of opportunity (EoO) and their ideal qualities.

Why Is Low Phase Noise Critical For Radar Systems?

Phase noise can significantly affect the performance of today’s radar systems. Understand why radar requires extremely low phase noise levels and discover effective phase noise measurement solutions.

4kW X-Band GaN Power Amplifier And Receiver Protector For Radar

CPI has developed a 4 kW X-band SSPA, model VSX3717, the latest evolution of the solid-state technology and improvement in power density, software control, and health and status monitoring.

Powering Up GaN Power Amplifiers With Power Management Modules

Powering up and down GaN power amplifiers (PAs) can be challenging. If not done properly, it poses a risk of component damage. The good news: this task just got easier.

The Advantages Of Knowles Precision Devices’ Broadband Capacitors

While there are a number of broadband-blocking capacitors on the market today, many struggle to provide low insertion loss over a broad frequency range – but not Knowles Precision Devices’ Broadband Milli-Cap® capacitor.

Q-Band TWT Amplifiers And Microwave Power Modules Still Best Solution For Defense Satellite Applications

The Q-Band is the most widely used band for many applications, including satellite communications, terrestrial microwave communications, radio astronomy studies and automotive radars.

Testing Radar Warning Receivers (RWRs)

RWRs/ESM receivers use multiple phase coherent receivers to determine the threat signal’s angle of arrival (AOA). For indoor/lab testing of RWRs and ESM receivers, test signals are applied directly to the antenna ports using RF cables, therefore avoiding the over-the-air transmission of RF threat signals.
