In the development of next-generation radar and electronic warfare (EW) systems, typical test scenarios include simulations such as low-observable signals mixed with ground clutter and environmental interferers. Addressing these demanding scenarios requires an arbitrary waveform generator (AWG) or signal-scenario generator (SSG) that has two key attributes. The first is...

M/A-COM Technology Solutions Inc. (M/A-COM Tech) has extended its position in high power semiconductors with the introduction of its first family of Gallium Nitride (GaN) RF power transistors. This new family of products targets S-band radar pulsed applications and leverages M/A-COM Tech's heritage of providing both standard and custom...

Applied Radar Inc. has been awarded a Phase 2 Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) contract from the US Missile Defense Agency (MDA) to develop a “Wideband Subarray Digital Receiver/Exciter (DREX).” This contract builds upon Applied Radar’s on-going work with the MDA on radar receiver/exciter technology, and greatly expands the...

Raytheon Co. has been awarded a $107 M US Air Force contract to further the design of the Space Fence system. Under this contract, Raytheon will deliver a preliminary design and test a functional radar prototype to ensure cost and schedule certainty and technical maturity of the final design...
