TMD exhibiting GaN-based microwave power module at UAE electronic warfare conference

Exhibiting for the first time at an electronic warfare (EW) exhibition in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), on stand 26 at the Electronic Warfare GCC Conference (EW GCC 2016) in Abu Dhabi (25-26 October) UK-based TMD Technologies Ltd (TMD) - which designs and manufactures specialized transmitters, amplifiers, microwave power modules (MPMs), high-voltage power supplies and microwave tubes for radar, EW and communications applications - is showcasing a selection of products for electronic warfare.

Exhibiting at EW GCC 2016 is "a direct result of our planned on-going expansion into the Middle Eastern markets," says sales & business development director Jane McAlister. "The EW GCC event is supported by the region's elite intelligence and military community."

The products on show include TMD's newest microwave power modules, namely the recently launched traveling wave tube (TWT)-based PTX8807 and the solid-state PTS6900.

Optimized for EW/ECM systems and employing gallium nitride (GaN) monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) technology, the PTS6900 MPM operates over the 2-6GHz frequency range, with 150W output power and adjustable 55dB gain. The device is said to have a very high predicted mean time between failure (MTBF) for an airborne uninhabited fighter environment.
