Reliability Advantages Of Modular Solid State Power Amplifiers Compared To TravelingWave Tube Amplifiers
2014-07-14 19:24:07| rfglobalnet Home Page
Amplifier manufacturers have long compared the advantages and disadvantages of solid state power amplifiers (SSPAs) and traveling wave tube amplifiers (TWTAs). Every few years, there is typically a technology advance that gives a slight advantage to one technology over the other. This paper shows how the modular design of SSPAs can provide dramatically higher levels of system reliability than TWTAs. By Stephen Turner, VP of Engineering, Paradise Datacom
