COMTECH PST proudly introduces another new Gallium Nitride (GaN) amplifier for X-Band applications. This class AB
linear design operates over the full 9.0-10 GHz frequency range and is ideal for use in Phase Array Radar applications,
as a TWT replacement or for a microwave communication link. The amplifier features phase and amplitude control,
internal DC to DC converters and DC filtering, PA self-test and LED fault indications, unique waveguide coupling
circuits, an internal isolator and digital control via a magic tee. The small light weight construction makes it amenable
to a variety of platforms and environments. Contact our Marketing or local Representatives to discuss how Comtech’s
experts can support your next solid state amplifier requirement with its standard or custom designs for Radio
Communications, HF, VHF UHF, L, S, C, and X Band Pulse Radar, TWT replacement, IFF, EW Jamming, Satellite, or
Medical Instrumentation. Comtech PST is an innovative leader of SSPA systems.
