Power Supply Management Of GaN MMIC Power Amplifiers For Pulsed Radar

By David Bennett and Richard DiAngelo, Analog Devices, Inc.

Today’s management systems must become extremely flexible, reusable, and easily adaptable to various RF amplifier architectures that are tailored to meet a variety of requirements. Their enclosed RF amplifier MMICs are expensive, and as a result, the performance and temperatures of these systems must be monitored in real-time. This white paper discusses techniques for power supply management of GaN MMIC power amplifiers, specifically for pulsed radar systems. Download the full paper for more information.
