In many modern military applications, stringent requirements for size and weight must be met without sacrificing power or performance. dB Control’s high-efficiency, conduction-cooled microwave power modules (MPMs) provide extremely dense packaging across the 2 to 45.5 GHz frequency band. Their MPMs are based on a modular design for easy customization and are available with continuous wave or pulsed power. Each MPM is a complete microwave amplifier that uses traveling wave tubes and solid state technologies, along with high voltage and low voltage power supplies, to provide the best of both worlds for military and commercial applications.
For ECM and Electronic Warfare Simulation:
- dB-3201 MPM (26.5 to 40 GHz, 125/100 Watts pulsed to CW)
- dB-3201H MPM (30 to 38 GHz, 125 Watts, CW)
- dB-4150 MPM (6 to 18 GHz, 100 Watts pulsed to CW, Ethernet interface)
For Satellite and Datalink Communications:
- dB-3202 MPM (27.5 to 31 GHz, 200 Watts, CW)
- dB-3205 MPM (43.5 to 45.5 GHz, 80 Watts, CW)
For Multi-Mode Radars, SAR, Manned/Unmanned Platforms
- dB-3758 MPM (9-10 GHz, 1 kW pulsed, 5 percent duty cycle)
For High-Performance Electronic Warfare:
- dB-3774B MPM (6 to 18 GHz, 1 kW pulsed, 5 percent duty cycle)
For ECM, EW Simulation, Multi-Band Communication Systems:
- dB-4127 MPM (6 to 18 GHz, 200 Watts pulsed to CW)
- dB-4128 MPM (6 to 18 GHz, 200 Watts pulsed to CW, prime input voltage, 115 VAC, 400 Hz)
RF/Microwave Coaxial Switches from Charter Engineering
A large selection of high-power MIL-standard switches for military, commercial, telecommunications and specialty applications from Charter Engineering (CEI). They offer 60 series types in numerous configurations and variations with a frequency range from DC to 40.0 GHz. All switches offer options for high-power, low temperature and low passive intermodulation (PIM). With outstanding RF performance across all frequency bands, low insertion and return loss, high isolation and excellent repeatability, plus manufacturing and fast shipping from their U.S. facility, it’s no wonder that CEI switches are the preferred choice.
CEI’s RF Switches at IMS2023 in booth 1154 include the models below. All operate at 12 V, 15 V, 24 V or 28 VDC, with optional TTL Logic for 5V DC operation, and additional options for indicators, suppression diodes, low intermodulation, extended temperature range, D’Sub connector and high power. New voltages include 5 VDC (direct) and 48 VDC.
