Tyco Electronics Announces M/A-COM 1,000 Watt Bipolar Transistor for Avionics Applications
Transistor Ideally Suited for Tactical Air Navigation System and Similar Short Pulse Applications
LOWELL, Mass. - May 8, 2007 - Tyco Electronics today announced the M/A-COM MAPRST1030-1KS, a new 1,000 W peak, class C bipolar transistor designed for 1030 MHz pulsed avionics applications. The transistor is ideally suited to operate in IFF/TACAN (tactical air navigation system) or similar short pulse formats and features a minimum gain of 8.0 dB (>8.6 dB typical) with 45% minimum collector efficiency (>50% typical) on a 50Vdc supply.
"The one thousand watt power rating on this new transistor can greatly enhance the range capabilities of new avionics systems," said Andrew Tse, product line manager, Tyco Electronics M/A-COM Radar and Avionics. "Additionally the unique power capability of the product will contribute to more compact system designs, as one device can replace a pair of devices in the final amplifier circuit architecture."
Designed for maximum durability, the M/A-COM MAPRST1w030-1KS is housed in a hermetic, ceramic/metal package for high reliability that can tolerate a 10:1 load mismatch without damage or loss in performance. M/A-COM brand driver stages for the MAPRST1030-1KS are also available, including the MRF10005, MRF10031 and MRF10150.
Pricing and Availability
The M/A-COM MAPRST1030-1KS is priced at $393 USD each in production quantities of hundreds. Pricing is subject to change. Contact Tyco Electronics' M/A-COM products domestic and international sales channels for price and delivery quotes.

X-Band is 8 - 12 GHz, S_Band is 2 - 4 GHz.
Usually it means its picking up a signal on the specified band.
the usual semiconductor rectifier used in the microwave band is a gunn diode. Vacuum tube diodes are sometimes used too.
Tri-band
The band's name is the Max Rebo Band.
A three band radar detector can read signals from 3 different band widths. This comes in handy with the new types of police equiptment out there.
X-Band is 8 - 12 GHz, S_Band is 2 - 4 GHz.
C-Band Doppler Radar is any Doppler radar system which operates in the C-Band of the electromagnetic spectrum (around 4.8Ghz). These are typically the radar systems seen at TV stations as they are affordable and powerful enough for their purposes.
Depends on the radar. Often C-Band is used (4-8GHz). This frequency is good since rain is quite reflective for it, and it doesn't attenuate as much as the higher X or K band frequencies.
No I don't beleive it does.
10 cm is the x band and 3 cm is the s band
The MSTAR is the Man-portable Surveillance and Target Acquisition Radar. It is an all-weather battlefield Doppler radar that operates in the J band.
It is a carrier Frequency Band between 26.5GHz and 40GHz
The MSTAR is the Man-portable Surveillance and Target Acquisition Radar. It is an all-weather battlefield Doppler radar that operates in the J band.
