Comtech PST Introduces The Latest In X-Band Solid State Power Amplifiers

Comtech PST, a division of Comtech Telecommunications, is excited to announce the availability of its latest X-Band Solid State Power Amplifier (SSPA) for use in civil, military and commercial weather radar applications. This newly developed solid state GaN based pulsed amplifier product line can be used to upgrade local Doppler and National Weather Service radars. The use of a solid state transmitter in today’s radar supports greater image resolution enabling meteorologists to improve their accuracy in predicting storm patterns and intensity models.

Comtech PST utilizes GaN based X-Band pulsed SSPA technology to replace aged TWT and Magnetron tube transmitters with more reliable, lower cost and integration friendly leading edge solid state technology.

Our engineers employ novel circuit topologies from the device to high power RF combining techniques to achieve the ultimate output power. Comtech combines eight of our model BMC928958-1000 1 kW SSPA Pulsed Amplifier Modules to attain 8 kW of power model BMC928958-8000. Both products are ECCN-3A999 designated.

“This is just one of several new product developments that our Engineers are achieving with the latest in RF & Microwave technologies” commented Michael Hrybenko, President of Comtech PST, on a recent award for this latest X-Band radar transmitter.
