Source: dB Control
6 – 18 GHz, 200 W TWT Amplifier: dB-4163

The dB-4163 TWT Amplifier (TWTA) is designed to operate within the 6 – 18 GHz frequency range and provide up to 200 W CW output power for electronic countermeasure (ECM), electronic warfare (EW) simulation, and multi-band communication applications.

The dB-4163 signal path is composed of a solid state amplifier and a TWT. The power supply topology utilizes proprietary low-noise and high efficiency designs to operate the RF signal path. Additional features include high-band characteristics, excellent reliability, and a prime input voltage of 115 VAC at 400 Hz.

dB-4163 TWT Amplifier specifications include:

  • Output Power: 200 Watts CW minimum
  • Gain at rated power: 53 dB min
  • Noise power density: -35 dBm/mHz max
  • SMA (F) RF input connectors, WRD-650 Waveguide RF Output
  • Operating Altitude: Up to 50,000 feet ASL
  • Forced-air cooling
  • Operating temperature: -40° C to +55° C
