Integra offers a high power pulsed avionics L-band module and a high efficiency, low input/output VSWR module. IGNP0912L1KW is a 50-ohm matched GaN-based high power pulsed pallet amplifier for L- band avionics systems operating over the instantaneous bandwidth of 0.960 – 1.215 GHz. This module supplies a minimum of 1000 W of peak pulse power, under the conditions of 2.5ms pulse width and 20% duty cycle. This module is ideal for Class AB operation with excellent thermal stability.

IGNP0912L1KW has a gain of 12.0 dB, frequency of 0.1 – 1.0GHz and a voltage of 28V. IGNP1214M1KW-GPS is a single-supply 50-ohm matched GaN-based pulsed power module for L-band radar systems, operating in the 1.20 – 1.40 GHz instantaneous frequency band. The module supplies a minimum of 1000 W of peak pulsed output power under the conditions of 300us pulse width and 10% duty cycle. The module contains bias sequencing and RF-activated gate biasing circuitry to simplify system integration. All units are 100% screened for large signal RF parameters.

—Integra Technologies is one of very few manufacturers which offer volume production of GaN, LDMOS and Si Bipolar as in-house standard processes.

Several active device semiconductor technologies are available today to amplify pulsed and continuous-wave (CW) signals across narrow or wide bandwidths from HF/VHF/UHF to L-, S-, C-, and X-band frequencies and beyond
But while more recent power-transistor technologies such as GaN are dominating new system designs, knowledge and insight on well-established, legacy semiconductor technologies such as silicon bipolar, Si LDMOS/VDMOS transistors are still invaluable to any high power amplifier (HPA) designer today.

Thermal management becomes the common denominator between the two, and although different types of RF/microwave power transistors are capable of high-power efficiency, no power transistor is 100% power efficient, as some DC and RF power supplied to a power transistor will always be lost as heat. Amplifying CW signals, or long-pulse length and/or high-duty-cycle pulses, will result in more heat from one transistor technology than another and will vary when compared to handling short pulses or low-duty-cycle pulses. So, in many cases, certain proven silicon devices are still the most ideal choice.
So, while the silicon bipolar junction transistor (Si BJT) might be recognized as legacy technology in comparison to today’s more advanced gallium nitride on silicon carbide (GaN-on-SiC) RF power semiconductor technology, it is by no means an obsolete technology. For example, Si BJT amplifiers have the smallest and lowest-cost circuits and only need a single positive supply voltage.
