GaN RF and microwave amplifier for S-Band radar applications introduced by Comtech PST

MELVILLE, N.Y., 13 Feb. 2015. Comtech PST Corp. in Melville, N.Y., is introducing the BMPC318358-900 gallium nitride (GaN) amplifier for S-Band radar applications. The AB linear design operates over the 3.1-to 3.5 GHz RF and microwave frequency band and can be modified also to support 2.9-tp3.1 GHz radar applications.

The amplifier has options for control of phase and amplitude to allow for integration into high-power systems using conventional binary or phased array combining approaches for power levels to 10 kilowatts.

Consistent with its planned technology development roadmap, Comtech is leading the field with in GaN-based RF device performance and advanced amplifier development.
