09.28.23 -- Why The U.S. Military Is "Struggling To Modernize"

System designers are always looking for simple solutions for their complex system designs. This article is a practical guide to reducing design complexity while meeting those tough noise figure requirements for 5G infrastructure, defense, and aerospace applications.

Booster amplifiers, used in support or in place of other technologies, are a cost-effective, SWaP-conscious, and field-proven tool to extend radio communications ranges in tactical situations.

On Jan. 19, 2022, many international airlines canceled or delayed flights to major U.S. airports where they believed 5G signals could possibly interfere with the radar signals required to properly operate landing equipment on their planes. Working through this potential interference issue is critical because 5G is not going anywhere.

This white paper explores why it is important to move toward direct RF, discusses its capabilities and applications, and shows how innovative products like those from Mercury Systems can help make the DoD’s vision a reality.

This application note describes how SKY65120 may be used with reduced bias control to obtain better thermal performance.

The frictionless nature of spherical air bearings partially simulates a zero-g environment, allowing a satellite's pitch, roll, and yaw control systems to work as they would in space without resorting to traditional drop testing or other cumbersome and expensive test simulations.

Many products incorporate electronics and wireless communications and need RF interference testing. This requires shielding enclosures that need proper testing to ensure their correct operation.

A radar transmitter is generally required to amplify a low noise coherent RF waveform. This paper covers an approach to the design of high-voltage power supply units for operating traveling wave tube amplifiers in pulse doppler radar transmitter sub‐systems where ultra-low noise RF output is mandatory.
