Description:
The project is focused on the research and development of an innovative solution to microwave power amplifiers for applications in surveillance radar systems designed for air traffic control and monitoring. The aim of the project is assembled, calibrated and validated autonomous block of modular microwave power amplifier. This amplifier will be based on the latest available technology of Gallium-nitride semiconductors. The resulting block will comprise of complete functional structure of the amplifier with all technical accessories for ensuring easy integration into superior system, which is primary surveillance radar. The project outcome will fully replace the existing technology of microware power amplifiers based on silicon bipolar microwave transistors, which is nowadays unpromising and becomes obsolete.
