These units can be configured as either pulsed or CW amplifiers or generators, and frequencies from 10 MHz to 1.3 GHz can be provided using standardised designs, depending on the system requirements.
They are intended to replace triode and tetrode based low frequency systems where the availability, life or reliability of the tube technology has become a major issue.
The amplifier design is highly modular with redundant individual Power Amplifier Modules and modular telecoms derived DC power supplies. The amplifiers are rated and configured to provide sufficient headroom to compensate for module failure without performance degradation and both the Power Amplifier Modules and the DC Power Supplies are designed to be hot-swappable in the event of failure, giving zero system down time.
Design and manufacture of a range of radar transponders and support equipment for applications that include UAVs, missiles, and manned aircraft.
Product ranges are fully complementary with many radar, EW and comms systems.
Quantum technology is leaving the laboratory and entering the industrial world to provide a paradigm shift in capability unrivalled by any other technology.
