In 1991, the U.S. military initiated the Microwave Power Module (MPM) program to enhance the development of microwave tube technology by combining vacuum electronics and solid-state technologies. Let's take a closer look at what exactly an MPM is and how it was initially created. |

Defense contractors must choose between solid-state and traveling wave tube (TWT) devices for RF signal amplification. Modern microwave power modules (MPMs) offer both technologies, providing efficient, compact, and reliable high-power transmission. |

It is crucial to understand common RF electromechanical switch terminology when choosing a coaxial switch. Use this guide to familiarize yourself with switches used in various industries, including commercial, military, and wireless. |

Device designers accustomed to a lack of coaxial switch options — this switch can only handle low power, or that one only offers momentary actuation — may not realize that a wide variety of options-packed coaxial switches are available through a single supplier. |

While both electromechanical (EM) and PIN diode switches are commonly used across a bevy of RF applications, they are not typically offered by a single organization because each is manufactured and assembled using vastly different techniques. However, one company has come up with a solution. |
