초록

본 논문에서는 X-대역 펄스압축 반도체형 레이다를 위한 200W SSPA를 개발하였다. 개발한 X-대역 SSPA는 전치증폭단, 구동증폭단, 고출력을 위한 주전력 증폭단의 3단 연계구조형 증폭기로 구성되어있다. X-대역에서 200W 이상의 출력을 내기 위해 주전력 증폭단은 충분한 이득과 전력을 얻을 수 있는 GaN HEMT소자를 사용하여 병렬구조로 설계하였다. 개발한 SSPA는 주파수범위 9.2-9.6GHz, 펄스주기 1ms, 펄스폭 100us, 듀티사이클 10% 조건에서 전체이득 59dB 이상, 출력전력 200W이상의 성능을 가진다. 본 논문에서 개발한 SSPA는 펄스압축기술을 이용한 고품위 반도체 레이다시스템에 적용할 수 있다.

In this paper, we developed the 200-Watts SSPA(Solid State Power Amplifier) for the X-band pulse compression solid state radar. The developed X-band SSPA is consists of 3-stage CSA(Corporate Structured Amplifier) modules in pre-amplifier stage, driver-amplifier stage and main-power amplifier stage. The main-power amplifier stage of SSPA designed by balanced type using GaN HEMT with enough power and gain to generate power more than 200-Watts in X-band. The developed SSPA has performance with more than total gain 59dB and output power 200-Watts in condition of frequency range 9.2-9.6GHz, pulse period 1msec, pulse width 100usec and duty cycle 10%. The developed SSPA in this paper can apply to high quality solid state radar system with pulse compression technique.
