Multi kW C & X-Band Solid-State Power
Utilising the latest GaN transistor technology, AM61 amplifiers are designed for C & X-Band Science and RADAR applications. The unit can be taken as a single module, or can be combined in waveguide to achieve higher powers in an AC rack. These models are suitable for use in science applications as stand alone power units, klystron drivers, or in RADAR applications such as surveillance, maritime or weather monitoring systems. Mechanically robust and with protection circuits to ensure long-term reliability, the amplifier is supplied in modular form for OEM system integration.
