In the last post on SWAP-C considerations, we introduced the challenges inherent in working with high frequencies – specifically, Ka-band (continuous wave [CW] and pulsed)

Building solid state power amplifiers (SSPAs), microwave power modules (MPMs) and traveling wave tube amplifiers (TWTAs) to operate in the Ka-band, Q-band, and other high-frequency

In Part 1, we discussed the definition and origins of the microwave power module (MPM). A signature feature of an MPM is the use of

The microwave power module (MPM) concept was initiated by the US military. The Tri-Service (Army, Navy, Air Force) officially launched the MPM program in 1991

Military pilots must be able to operate aircraft in very harsh environments. Towed decoys are one way to help them do that. From behind the

What’s better: traveling wave tube amplifiers or solid state power amplifiers? The short answer is: it depends on the application. Traveling wave tube amplifiers (TWTAs)

by Marcelo Ramos, VP of Engineering, RF Sources/Receivers Radar simulation systems, comprising RF sources and/or receivers, depending on the application, must perform to an exacting

Defense manufacturers and their partners have an especially compelling need for quality, documentation and compliance of the entire supply chain. Because lives are on the

In the defense sector, unmanned systems have continued to transform military reconnaissance and surveillance missions. In fact, unmanned platforms and capabilities have become so broad
