TMD extends its position as leader in Electronic Warfare power amplifiers with the introduction of two NEW compact Ka band MPMs for use in high-performance radar and ECM systems

17 March 2021
Categories: Electronic Warfare, MPMs, Press Releases, Radar

TMD Technologies Limited (TMD), independent, world class, West London based manufacturer in the professional microwave and RF field, has introduced two new products to its advanced PTX range of Microwave Power Modules (MPMs).

Improved frequency range…

The new PTX8808 and PTX8811 operate in the technically challenging Ka band and are designed to meet the exacting needs of today’s Electronic Warfare (EW) and high-performance radar systems. Replacing the earlier PTX8807, the new MPMs between them cover the extended frequency range of 26.5 to 40 GHz, with power outputs of 60 to 160 W (CW/pulsed, 100% duty cycle). The PTX8811 employs a narrower bandwidth, allowing it to be optimised to provide a higher power.

Categories: Communications, Electronic Warfare, MPMs, Press Releases, Radar

TMD Technologies, a world leader in RF, microwave, and high-power amplifiers has introduced the PTXM9754, an ultra-compact, modular MPM (Microwave Power Module). This unit is ideally suited for high-performance military radar, EW/EA/ECM and communications systems. It utilizes a ‘super-mini’ TWT (travelling wave tube), a solid-state preamp, and an optimized high density switched-mode power supply to form a single ‘drop-in’ amplifier block. This design provides a FFF (form, fit, function) equivalent to existing 6-18 GHz MPMs installed across many shipboard, airborne, and ground-based systems.
