Abstract :
A 180 kW L-band distributed solid-state transmitter has been designed which uses 122 output modules distributed on the back of a phased array antenna. The l500-watt modules utilize a new 600-watt short-pulse, high-peak power transistor. The overall transmitter design and resultant characteristics are discussed.
