Integra Completes 1kW and 200W GaN Radar Amplifiers for Aerospace Applications in P-band
San Francisco, CA (USA) –Â Integra Technologies, Inc. (ITI), a leading designer manufacturer of high-power RF transistors, pallets and amplifiers, announces the completion of a 1kW GaN high efficiency amplifier, IGNP0450M1000, for aerospace radar applications, funded by NASA/JPL through SBIR Phase I and II grant awards. An additional 200W high efficiency GaN amplifier for shorter-term programs has also beencompleted through an SBIR Phase IIX grant award. “GaN technology’s inherent low capacitances, on-state resistance and high bias operation facilitate high efficiency high power amplifier designs through harmonic tuning”, say Principal Investigator James Custer and lead scientist Dr. Gabriele Formicone, Integra’s core technical team involved in the project. “The 200W and 1kW GaN radar amplifiers with almost 80% efficiency demonstrate Integra’s capabilities to support aerospace programs in other frequency bands, and show its commitment to providing solutions for various defense, commercial and scientific aerospace applications.”
About IGNP0450M1000:
1kW, 42dB, 75%, 420-450 MHz GaN Radar Amplifier
IGNP0450M1000 operates over the frequency band of 420-450 MHz. Under 100us – 10% pulse conditions, it supplies typically 1 kW of output power with 75% power added efficiency and 42 dB gain from a 75V supply voltage across the case temperature range from -25°C to +85°C. It weighs only 350 gr. and it’s smaller than today’s tablets.
