dB Control is introducing the dB-4522 traveling wave tube (TWT) amplifier for use in military manned and unmanned airborne applications, electronic countermeasures (ECM), EW threat simulation and high-power communications. The dB-4522 TWT amplifier operates in the 11-18 GHz frequency range and provides 450 Watts CW (at 11-17.5 GHz) and 400 Watts CW (at 17.5-18 GHz) peak output power. It features very stable RF performance and built-in forced air cooling. The dB-4522 TWT amplifier meets MIL-E 5400T equipment standards and is designed for use in harsh environments with temperatures between -40° C to +71°C ambient and at altitudes of up to 50,000 feet. In addition, the high-efficiency design and modular construction of the dB-4522 facilitate options such as custom frequency bands, prime power inputs, RF gain control and custom interface protocols.
