System designers may not be aware of a certain phenomenon which impacts the linear RF output power of a multi-carrier application. Read how CPI mapped this "memory effect", demonstrating the potential challenges to wide-band multi-carrier applications, and how they've solved the problem in their own GaA and GaN amplifiers.

Experience up to 50% longer TWT life with CPI’s patented LifeExtender/LifePredictor technology.  CPI’s LIFEEXTENDER technology is the most advanced method used in the satcom amplifier market to increase traveling wave tube (TWT) life. The superior results achieved through Life Extender are obtained through a unique process whereby the heater voltage is adjusted in order to utilize…

Communications & Power Industries (CPI) has been a leader in the radio frequency field for decades. The company is well known in the satellite industry for both excellent product reliability and technological innovation. In fact, CPI supported some of the very first satellite projects (at that time as part of Varian Associates), and has been…

Liquid cooling was once the primary method for keeping high power microwave tubes and amplifiers and transmitters from overheating. The necessity to achieve strong uplink signals using the high power, inefficient components available at the time resulted in high heat dissipation. This in turn drove the requirement to use highly effective cooling methods to maintain…
