FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
SUNNYVALE, CA, - - - CTT, Inc. announces a new family of compact, GaN-based solid-state power amplifiers (SSPAs) operating in the 6.4 to 11.0 GHz frequency range for a wide variety of RF and microwave applications including commercial, industrial and military radar applications. CTT’s latest compact SSPA designs offer as much as 160 Watts of Output Power in a compact package.
Engineered specifically to meet the stringent requirements imposed by many modern radar designs, CTT’s family of 39 GaN-based power amplifiers (AGN and AGW Series), perform a wide range of functions. Whether the radar is narrowband, wideband or ultra-wideband, operating in pulsed or CW mode, CTT’s GaN power amplifiers are an especially attractive choice for new multifunction radar systems that effectively conserve weight, space and power consumption though the combination of several stand-alone radars into a single system.
CTT engineers have developed a proprietary open architecture/common platform of these GaN-based power amplifiers which relies on advanced coupler design and unique substrate material selection. The result is a selection of adaptable, modular amplifiers requiring only a single supply voltage. Both military and commercial configurations can benefit from improvements in: Increased Sensitivity, Reduced Size and Weight, Higher Efficiency, Wider Bandwidth, Reduced Cost, and System Power Efficiency.
CTT’s new SSPAs include 15 models for Narrowband applications operating from 7.8 to 10.7 GHz in Continuous Wave (CW) mode. There are 12 models for Narrowband (< 10% bandwidth) applications operating from 8.5 to 10.7 GHz in Pulsed mode. For Wideband and Ultra-Wideband applications there are 12 models which operate from 6.4 to 11.0 GHz in CW mode.
CTT Model Number AGN/105-4957-P offers 9.5 to 10.5 GHz frequency operation with operating input power requirements of 13.8 Amps @ +30 Volts DC. Additional specifications include a minimum of +57 dB of Gain, Power Saturation (Psat) performance is 80 Watts, Min. The compact package measures only 4.32 inch (L) x 4.5 inch (W) x 0.68 inch (H). In addition, the new SSPA’s “automated friendly” design increases consistency of performance, making design-in more cost effective for system designers and manufacturers alike.
RF and microwave designers can see this new SSPA and obtain additional specifications and a 4-page brochure at CTT’s booth #2414 during the 2012 IEEE International Microwave Symposium, June 17-22, 2012 in Montreal, Canada.
CTT, Inc., established in 1981, is a privately-held company located in Silicon Valley. The Company designs and manufactures GaAs and GaN-based solid-state microwave amplifiers and subassemblies for the domestic and international defense electronics and commercial communications markets.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
CTT, Inc. announces a new, compact, solid-state power amplifier (SSPA) operating in the 6.0 to 18.0 GHz frequency range for a wide variety of RF and microwave applications. This amplifier design provides good efficiency, high operating temperature range and small size.
CTT’s latest compact SSPA is a GaN-based MMIC design that offers 40 Watts of Output Power in a compact package. Additional specifications include a minimum of +46 dB of Gain, Max., Gain Flatness of ±2.5 dB, Noise Figure of 8.0 dB. Power Saturation (Psat) performance is +44.5 dBm, Min. and +46.0 dBm, Typ.
This new SSPA will find use in a wide range of applications including wideband jamming for both ship-based and airborne usage. The new SSPA is also suitable for next generation jamming designs.
CTT Model Number AGM/180-4646 is based on GaN MMIC technology with operating requirements of +36 Volts, DC and 6.6 A, Typ., of DC Current.
The compact package measures only 4.14 inch x 3.0 inch x 0.68 inch. In addition, the new SSPA’s “automated friendly” design increases consistency of performance, making design-in more cost effective for system designers and manufacturers alike.
RF and microwave designers can see this new SSPA and obtain additional specifications at CTT’s booth #2302 during the 2011 IEEE International Microwave Symposium, June 5-10, 2011 in Baltimore, MD.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
CTT, Inc. announces a new family of compact, low-noise amplifier (LNA) operating in the 1.0 to 18.0 GHz frequency range for a wide variety of RF and microwave applications.
CTT’s family of LNAs offer noise figures of less than 2.5 dB (Typical) over an instantaneous bandwidth of more than four octaves (1 through 18 GHz).
These compact LNAs will find use in a wide range of applications including radar imaging, spread-spectrum, and a myriad of ultra-wide bandwidth applications including the related instrumentation for each. CTT’s AMX family of LNAs is based on GaAs pHEMT technology with input and output impedance matching. The compact LNAs are available as a drop-in package or with SMA connectors.
In addition to offering ultra-broadband noise performance, the amplifiers provides three gain options to match system performance budget requirements with sufficient power output suitable for driver applications. The new LNA’s “automated friendly” design increases consistency of performance, making design-in more cost effective for system designers and manufacturers alike.
