AMPLIFIERS
X-Band Radar Solid-State Power Amplifier
COMTECH PST introduced a new GaN amplifier for ground or surface X-Band radar applications. The AB linear design operates from 9.2 to 9.7 GHz frequency range over an instantaneous bandwidth of 500 MHz. Development of this product is for a TWT replacement. The amplifier design features self-protection for load VSWR, duty factor, pulse width, temperature, as well as a graceful degradation in case of a RF power module failure. Comtech supports custom configurations and features are available as well as specific power levels up to 16 kW.

SOURCES
Signal Generator
The RI8586 provides in a single TIM slot an ultra-low phase noise, continuous wave fast switching signal generator, tunable from 25 MHz to 24 GHz with 1 Hz resolution. This microwave source functions as a standalone instrument as well as a component of Roos’ System RF (SyRf) core technology with multiple RF ports to support seamless system integration with Cassini’s signal sources and test set TIMs. Fast phase settling enhances the speed and accuracy of vector-calibrated VNA measurements.

ANTENNAS
Quad-Ridge Flared Horns
Quad-Ridge Flared Horns are antenna feeds designed for wideband microwave reflector antennas. The feeds exhibit a constant phase center and remains focused over a 6:1 frequency range. The lower frequency range starts at 0.5 to 4 GHz. Feeds are dual linear polarized designed for a given half-angle, HA, subtended by the reflector or sub-reflector facing the feed, specified for each feed. Operated at temperatures in the 4K to 350K range with minimal performance change.

TEST & MEASUREMENT
R140B 1-Port 14 GHz Analyzer
Copper Mountain Technologies has launched the new R140B 1-port 14 GHz analyzer. R140B is an enhanced version of its predecessor—the R140 reflectometer—featuring faster measurement speeds, wider IFBW and an improved dynamic range. The R140B incorporates a new housing design similar to CMT’s R60, taking advantage of enhanced heat exchange characteristics and a sturdy USB shroud. It will feature a new connector assembly, which includes four different port connector options (N male, female; 3.5 mm male, female).
