Instrumentation Amplifiers
HIGH-POWER RADIO FREQUENCY (RF) AND MICROWAVE AMPLIFIERS, TWTA AND SOLID STATE
Communications & Power Industries
electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) high-intensity radiated field (HIRF) testing, military testing, electronic warfare simulation and scientific applications are based on the same switched-mode power supply technology as its rugged amplifiers. As a result, these instrumentation amplifiers have all the same performance and reliability advantages as the rugged product line, but have been neatly re-packaged into compact, lightweight and affordable rack-mountable units more suitable for less demanding physical environments. CPI TMD's new modular design (the PTCM range) has many user benefits, including advanced self-diagnostics, ethernet interfaces, remote management, VSWR protection and plug and play field replaceable power supplies.

Microwave Power Modules
S-BAND to KA-BAND
Communications & Power Industries
Each of CPI TMD's TWT-based units is comprised of a compact power supply and mini TWT, combined into an ultra-compact, lightweight "drop-in" amplifier block. This simplifies system design and installation, increases reliability and minimizes safety hazards. The units also feature high electrical efficiency and excellent thermal management. Performance is factory set, removing the need for any user adjustments in the field and, if necessary, permitting easy field replacement of the complete unit. The product range covers S-band to Ka-band, and includes continuous wave (CW), pulsed and CW/pulsed units of extremely compact design. At only 1.7 kg with over 110 W output power, the PTXM1000 is believed to be the market’s highest power density MPM.

Klystron HPAs
Communications & Power Industries
CPI's GEN IV klystron power amplifier (KPA) is the overwhelming choice among Direct-to-Home service providers for uplink service, and is also very popular for other broadcasting applications. As the first KPA to utilize multi-stage depressed collector (MSDC) technology, the GEN IV offers by far the best combination of high power, high efficiency, small size, low heat dissipation and low acoustic noise in its class.
