Abstract :
Efficient lightweight microwave power modules produce high RF output power in a compact package. Microwave power modules (MPM) are the first choice for rugged applications where reliability, efficiency and high power to weight ratio equipment is needed to perform in advanced applications such as high data rate communication and mobile synthetic aperture radars. L-3 Communications Electron Devices has developed a high performance low noise microwave power module (MPM) with CW output power of 200 watts in Ku band.
