Description
QuinStar Technology, Inc. proposes to develop a high-power 135-150 GHz solid-state power amplifier (SSPA) to address the need for high-power radar transmitters for future short and medium-range air surveillance applications. Specifically, we propose to develop a 20 Watt power amplifier (PA) operating over the 135-150 GHz band with 42 dB power gain and 8% power-added-efficiency (PAE). The power and efficiency goals of this program will be met by a combination of advanced device technology and low-loss waveguide power combining techniques.
