Power amplifier for electronic warfare applications in aircraft and shipboard jamming introduced by CTT

SUNNYVALE, Calif., 10 April 2011. CTT Inc. in Sunnyvale, Calif., is introducing a solid-state RF and microwavepower amplifier that operates from 6 to 18 GHz. The device is for wideband electronic warfare jamming applications on surface ships and aircraft, as well as for next-generation jamming designs.The gallium nitride (GaN) -based power amplifier is a monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) with efficiency, high operating temperature range, and small size, CTT officials say.The power amplifier offers 40 Watts output, a minimum of 46 decibels of maximum gain, plus-or-minus 2.5 decibels of gain flatness, and noise figure of 8 decibels. Typical power saturation of a minimum of 4.5 decibels, and 46 decibels typical.

CTT Model Number AGM/180-4646 requires 36 Volts DC and 6.6 amps typical of DC current. The device measures 4.14 by 3 by 0.68 inches. For more information contact CTT online at www.cttinc.com.
