High Power Amplifiers

Introducing Solid State TWT Replacements!

These amplifiers, based on a novel design of waveguide combiners, are available throughout the frequency range from 6 to 18 GHz, as well as in selected bands beyond 18 GHz. Most of our standard amplifier modules can be combined, giving rise to the wide choice of bands, power outputs, and gains. Also, since we keep a large stock of our basic modules, delivery times are as short as four weeks for many of the most popular bands. Although a variety of housing configurations are possible - including TWT form fitting - these units are typically offered in a standard 19" rack drawer, as shown in the photo above.

The radial combiner at right is used in these amplifiers to achieve these high power levels.
