The Core of Modern RF: Applications of the Microwave Amplifier
In the rapidly evolving world of radio frequency engineering, generating a signal is only half the battle. To transmit that signal over long distances or...
3 High-Demand Commercial Applications for the X-Band Microwave Pulse Power Amplifier
When engineers hear “X-band,” they often think of highly specialized aerospace programs. However, the X-band frequency range (8.0 to 12.0 GHz) is actually the backbone...
What is an SSPA? How GaN Technology Revolutionized Solid State Amplifiers
For decades, generating high-frequency, high-power electromagnetic waves required bulky, fragile vacuum tubes. Today, walk into any modern EMC laboratory, commercial radar facility, or satellite communications...
The Engine of EMC Test Equipment: Why RF Amplifiers Dictate Test Success
When configuring EMC test equipment for a laboratory, engineers often focus heavily on the anechoic chamber’s absorption materials or the sophisticated measurement receivers. However, in...
Radar & HIRF Testing: Overcoming Limits in X-Band Microwave Pulse Power Amplifiers
As a testing engineer in radar simulation, Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC), or High-Intensity Radiated Fields (HIRF) testing, you know that generating a continuous wave (CW) is...
