EMS Technologies Inc. said its Defense & Space Systems division will deliver hardware for two next-generation Ka-band satellites that Boeing will build for DirecTV Inc. The satellites, slated for launch in 2007, will enable DirecTV to deliver more than 1,000 high definition (HD) local channels and 150 national HD channels and other advanced programming to consumers by 2007. The satellites’ multiple high-power amplifiers will depend on EMS’s technology for two functions. On the input side, EMS will supply the amplitude and phase adjustment networks. On the output side, EMS technology will provide the isolated combining networks for the high-power TWTA outputs.
