Empower RF Systems' Airborne Pulse HPA Solution
|
December 10, 2013 Press Release
Size Matters and TWT Replacement
Consider the possibilities
- Systems “shrink job” and solid state upgrade supported
by Empower HPAs
Leveraging
next generation hardware and software innovations that are part of Empower’s “size matters” architecture, several
unique configurations of these HPAs are being shipped to key customers. This particular set of high power HPAs build
on the size, weight and power advantages already demonstrated with commercial product releases in the broad market,
“size matters” product family.
This recent and unique Airborne Pulse HPA solution features UHF and L-Band pulse
amplifiers tied to a shared power supply and delivering 1 kW and 3 kW pulse power, respectively. Each amplifier
is housed in a 3U chassis, and the shared power supply is housed in a 1U chassis. As shown in the illustration, this
next generation solution replaces older products which totaled 16U in size - the UHF solid state amplifier was in
an 8U chassis and an L-Band TWT was housed in another, separate 8U chassis. That entire legacy combination has been
converted to solid state, size has been reduced by 44%, and utilization of a single, shared power supply eliminates
considerable systems integration work for the end user. These next generation amplifiers from Empower also demonstrate
our “device agnostic” approach to delivering a high performance systems solution - we design with the best devices
for the application. In this case, the UHF pulse amplifier is designed with LDMOS and the L-Band pulse amplifier is
designed with GaN.
 Empower RF Systems is a leader in power amplifier solutions targeted at four key markets
- electronic attack, communications, radar, and test & measurement. Our products incorporate the latest semiconductor
and power combining technologies and originate from an extensive library of “building block” designs. Solutions range
from basic PA modules to multifunction PA assemblies with embedded, microprocessor controllers.
