2.1.4.2.1. 500W Power Amplifier (Unit 2 A1 A3 A2 A1)
A 500-watt X-band solid-state provides higher duty cycles and greater sensitivity despite
transmitting at significantly lower powers. The Ranger-X5 is capable of producing waveforms with
duty cycles up to 15% and pulse widths up to 100-µsec utilizing pulse compression technology.
The Transmitter Control Unit (Unit 2 A1 A2 A2) provides the control and trigger signals necessary
for amplification within the Power Amplifier.
The Transmitter Assembly is comprised of a series of six (6) 100W Solid-State Power Amplifiers
and a power combiner providing a minimum of 500 watts of power at the output of the power
amplifier.
