Abstract :
The design, fabrication, and evaluation of a compact, low-cost, power-amplifier module for -Band (1300 megacycles) phased-array systems are described. The package contains six cascaded stages of gridded power tubes appropriately coupled to yield ten per cent bandwidth with a gain of 53 dB and a peak power output of 5 kW.
