Production Engineering Measure for an Integrated Circuit Power Amplifier 600-1000 MHz for Tactical Radio Equipment.

Abstract

The project is intended to provide for production engineering to manufacture an amplifier with the following characteristics: 30 watts output power; input impedance, 50 ohms; output impedance, 50 ohms; frequency band, 600-1000 MHz. The amplifier will utilize the TRW MICroAMP(TM) broadband transistor which will be optimized as part of this project. Two of these devices will then be combined using 90 degree interdigitated couplers to produce a minimum of 30 watts of power. This amplifier will be adaptable for use as a building block for the fabrication of higher power systems. The mask set was redesigned to incorporate the changes necessary for increased amplifier gain. Three engineering sample amplifiers were fabricated, tested, and shipped. Approval to start the First Article Amplifiers was obtained and these amplifiers were started.
