A solid-state power supply/modulator system.

From: Microwave Journal | Date: June 1, 1997 | Copyright information

New advances in high power insulated-gate bipolar transistor and FET technology have made the design of solid-state high power transmitters possible. Thyratrons have been used traditionally as the main high power switch in radar modulators. Recently, solid-state switches in 250 to 1000 kW magnetron and klystron transmitters have become a reality.

The weather radar system manufacturers have generated requirements for compact, high reliability radar systems that are achievable only by utilizing state-of-the-art solid-state technology. One of the main criteria of weather radar ...
