Critical technologies and capabilities required for this application

Empower RF Systems offers a wide variety of power amplifiers as standalong or high power tube drivers up to several kilowatts. Radar applications include HF for over-the-horizon (OTH), VHF for very long range and ground generation and UHF for very long range (e.g. ballistic missile early warning) and foliage penetration (SAR). Empower has also provided amplifiers in L-band for long range air traffic control and surveillance (IFF) as well as S-band for moderate range surveillance and long range weather.

How Empower is positioned to support these applications

Empower RF Systems utilizes the latest semiconductor technologies to provide high gain, high peak power capability, and pulse fidelity. Exceptional performance, long term reliability, high efficiency and sharp rise/fall times are achieved by employing advanced RF matching networks and combining techniques, EMI/RFI filters, and all qualified components. Our amplifiers are constructed of modular RF sections offered individually for size and weight constrains as well as in rack cabinets with power supplies to meet any power requirements. Systems have built in control, monitoring and protection functions and forced air cooling as required.

Empower manufactures RF amplifiers to meet the environmental conditions of ground based, shipboard and airborne applications. Empower RF’s ISO9001 Quality Assurance Program assures consistent performance and the highest reliability.

Empower RF Systems has extensive experience with Multi-Function, Highly-Integrated Assemblies. Customer-specific requirements are met by incorporating Integrated Filters, T/R switches, DC/DC Converters, Forward/Reverse Power detectors and RCV LNAs into the Amplifier.
