Comtech Xicom Technology, founded as Xicom Technology in 1991, has grown to be a world leading satellite communications (satcom) amplifier supplier, offering the broadest product line in the industry. Our focus on customers, innovation and quality has driven growth and created a company with a reputation for excellence. Regarded as an industry leader across the board, Xicom provides rugged, highly efficient and reliable Traveling Wave Tube Amplifiers (TWTAs), Klystron Power Amplifiers (KPAs), Solid State Power Amplifiers (SSPAs), and Block Upconverters (BUCs) for commercial and military broadcast and broadband applications around the world. These Xicom High Power Amplifiers (HPAs) are in use in critical communications links on the ground, in the air and on the sea; they support fixed traditional and direct-to-home broadcast, mobile news gathering, transportable and flyaway systems, secure high data rate communications, and broadband access over satcom.
Falcon SSPAs with BUCs are designed for in-cabin airborne applications requiring high power density and output levels from 20 to 50 W at Ka-band frequencies.
Comtech Xicom Technology recently received a $2 million order from a leading HTS system integrator for HPAs capable of 500 W output power at Ka-band frequencies.
Solid-state technology, mainly in the form of gallium-nitride transistors, is opening the door to more powerful, “tube-like” microwave power amplifiers.
A large number of companies attended MILCOM 2015 in Tampa, Fla., with exhibitors ranging from defense contractors to components suppliers—and much more in between.
Today’s satcom market can be analyzed by examining five focal points: Ka-band products, GaN devices, solid-state power amplifiers (SSPAs), traveling-wave-tube amplifiers (TWTAs...
Amplifier systems employ tubes, transistors, and sometimes a mix of the two device technologies to achieve kilowatt power levels at microwave frequencies.
Ready-to-use amplifier systems have gained acceptance for a growing number of applications, ranging from radar platforms to satellite-communications (satcom) networks.
Unless they're built to take abuse, communications platforms can be a great liability in aerospace, automotive, and military applications. Here are some of the latest comms platform...
Vacuum-tube amplifiers are still alive and well, providing high gain and output-power levels in a wide range of satellite systemsboth in space and on the ground.
