Abstract

In this paper, describes the design and performance of a 1.5 kW solid-state pulsed power amplifier, operating over 2.7-2.9 GHz at a duty of 10% and with a pulse width of 100 us for radar application. The solid-state pulsed power amplifier configures a series of 8-stage cascaded power amplifier with different RF output power levels. Low loss Wilkinson combiners are used to combine output powers of six 300W high power solid state modules. Tests show peak output power of 1.61 kW, corresponding to PAE of 26.2% over 2.7-2.9 GHz with pulse width of 100 us and a PRF of 1 kHz.
