The POL1000Ka-P from Polarity is a pulsed traveling wave tube amplifier (TWTA) that operates from 34 to 36 GHz and provides 1000 watts of peak power at a 10% duty. This Ka-band pulsed TWTA is densely packaged for lightweight airborne applications and has RF modulation rates up to 1 MHz. It is available in a module that measures 381 x 247 x 190 mm with WR-28 output interface and is ideally suited for demanding performance in next-generation Ka-band radar systems.
The amplifier has an outstanding thermal design that ensures reliable operation across ambient temperatures from -40C to +70 deg C. It has been designed to meet the demands of today’s complex airborne pulsed, shipboard, and ground mobile microwave power systems.
