SOLID STATE POWER AMPLIFIERS
Abstract
This activity provides for the generation of High Frequency (HF), Very High Frequency (VHF), Ultra High Frequency (UHF), Micro Wave (MW), and Millimeter Wave (MMW) power amplifiers for Navy allweather radar, surveillance, reconnaissance, electronic attack, communications, and smart weapons systems. The technology developed cannot, for the most part, be obtained through Commercial-Off-the-Shelf (COTS) as a result of the simultaneous requirements placed on power, frequency, linearity, bandwidth, weight, and size. The current specific objective is: Develop high efficiency, highly linear amplifiers for microwave, millimeter-wave, low-noise, and power applications. All FY 2010 efforts in this activity have been transferred to the newly created Solid State Electronics activity to provide for better alignment between future naval needs and the solid state research being conducted.
