Buyer's Guide

Rotman Lens Designer is an easy to use tool for initial design of Rotman Lenses

When you still need a way to control, configure, and run routines using the components Vaunix's simple yet effective Windows-based Lab Brick software makes setup easy.

This brief describes manufacturing thin film circuits using a next-generation anisotropic ion beam milling process that is proving to be the most precise, repeatable, and clean approach over the more random process of traditional material subtraction via chemical etching. 

CPI has extensive experience in the design and development of integrated microwave assemblies.

The VPX3469 Magnetron Transmitter is developed as a fully integrated magnetron system for use as a high power source of RF power for outdoor-mounted radar applications. This microwave transmitter uses the CPI coaxial Magnetron as its RF output device. The enclosure is made for use inside of an antenna pedestal or similar environments. 

High efficiency, high power and compact with proven GaN technology, the VSC3645 can be easily combined to create high power C-band radar transmitters.

CPI BMD’s solid state power amplifiers are reliable, highly-efficient and easy to maintain. The VSC3644 solid state power amplifiers are designed for use in
maritime surveillance and weather radar transmitters and cover the 5.2 – 5.9 GHz frequency band.

This paper examines the effect of using normal Class A/B bias for kW-level GaN and LDMOS transistors used in radar and avionic systems.

Offering unique expertise in optimizing standard and custom RF Power solutions for radar.

The best solid-state, high power amplifiers (HPAs), especially those used in critical defense, aerospace, and weather-radar applications, start with the right choice of discrete or integrated RF power transistors. This Tech Brief is to explain the key things to look for, and the advantages and disadvantages of each technology.
