Title: High-Efficiency Solid-State S&X-Band Radar Power Amplifiers

Agency / Branch: DOD / NAVY

Contract: N65538-08-M-0139

Award Amount: $69,984.00

Abstract:
Inefficiencies in radar transmitters lead to issues with power generation, heat removal, reduced lifetime, and cost of operation. A high power RF amplifier with high efficiency would be very useful in military and commercial applications. Auriga is proposing to investigate two methods for improving the efficiency of S and X-band amplifiers. Gallium Nitride (GaN) devices will be used to satisfy the high power requirement. Its use in high efficiency technologies has been demonstrated by Auriga.
