Comtech Receives $1.5 Million Order for High Power Amplifiers

Comtech PST Corporation, an independent supplier of broadband, high power, high performance RF microwave amplifiers, has secured a $1.5 million order for high power broadband amplifiers for an airborne electronic warfare application from a domestic prime contractor.

 

Officials at Comtech PST Corporation, which is a subsidiary of Comtech Telecommunications Corporation, said that these amplifiers utilize the latest solid state transistor technology that provides for very broad frequency coverage, and are key components in jamming systems manufactured by the customer.

 

“We are proud of our RF microwave amplifier segment's continuing success and recognition as a premier supplier of solid state, high power amplifiers to the electronic warfare marketplace,” said Fred Kornberg, president and chief executive officer, Comtech Telecommunications (News - Alert) Corporation.

 

Comtech Telecommunications Corporation designs, develops, produces and markets innovative products, systems and services for advanced communications solutions. The company believes many of its solutions play a vital role in providing or enhancing communication capabilities when terrestrial communications infrastructure is unavailable or ineffective.

 

TMCnet reported on Wednesday that Comtech PST Corporation received a $1 million order from a domestic prime contractor to supply complex high power antenna switches. Officials at Comtech said that these high power antenna switches are key components in countermeasure systems manufactured by the company’s customer for U.S. Army and Navy aircraft.

 

Comtech Xicom (News - Alert) Technology, another subsidiary of Comtech Telecommunications Corporation, also recently announced securing a $1.3 million order from the U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory  (AFRL) for a high power Ka-band amplifier. The Ka-band amplifier would be a high-efficiency design for use in U.S.A.F. airborne platforms.

 

Xicom Technology, a major player in high power amplifiers, manufactures a wide variety of tube-based and solid-state amplifiers for military and commercial satellite uplink applications.
