High Power Pulse Applications like phased array radar and laser targeting require bulk capacitance, high currents, and fast response time for pulse forming. EVANSCAPS, Tantalum Hybrid Capacitors from Evans Capacitor Company have over a decade of experience in powering these systems. EVANSCAPS unique chemistry and construction provides the low ESR and high power density for high current pulse power in Phased Array Radars or LASER drivers, as well as the highest available energy density for power interruption back up in avionics or subsystems. EVANSCAPS save space, weight and power (SWAP) over other capacitor technologies. They are not cycle limited and can provide very high current discharge. EVANSCAPS are available in a very wide range of ratings in voltages from 10V to 125V.
In large phased array radar systems, high current pulse capability, minimal voltage droop, and keeping cool are a necessity for driving high power T/R modules. EVANSCAPS THQ and THS capacitors have been the pulse generators of choice, with the high capacitance, low ESR and reliability required for aggressive applications. The TDD series, with ultra low ESR provides improved pulse characteristics and excellent frequency response. Reduced heat generation and
high current capability, allows higher duty cycles or increased pulse power. The lower I2R induced heating can eliminate external cooling requirements, saving weight and cost in the overall system. Cooler operation results in longer life. EVANSCAPS are driving the highest power GaN T/R Modules ! Gallium Nitride technology provides the capability of very high power T/R modules. The higher power GaN T/R modules require large bulk capacitance, higher currents and faster rise times to realize their full potential. Evans TDD series Hybrid Capacitors can provide the input pulse current and power to realize the full benefit of GaN T/R modules. The high energy density of TDD EVANSCAPS allows more capacitance in a small volume, reducing size of the overall T/R power module, yet providing higher power pulse and

aggressive duty cycles. The TDD series encompasses a unique internal construction that greatly reduces ESR, providing greater efficiency and generating less heat, The excellent heat transfer characteristics allow for higher currents but with reduced cooling requirements. EVANSCAPS -‐ driving the highest power solid state LASERS
In the AIR Advanced Targeting Pods demand high power solid state LASERS. These systems require bulk energy storage and very high discharge currents for pulse forming. EVANSCAPS, with high capacitance and very low ESR provide the highest currents with minimal voltage droop. Hermetic and Tanatlum encased, EVANSCAPS provide reliable power in the most demanding environments
On the GROUND
Targeting and Designator LASERS require the highest power in the smallest space. EVANSCAPS high energy density provides the maximum power in the minimum space. EVANSCAPS THQ, THS, and TDD style capacitors are already providing high current pulse power for ground and airborne laser targeting systems. The TDD series capacitors with high capacitance and very low ESR support the largest currents with minimal voltage droop. The low inductance design facilitates a very short rise time and good frequency response. Low ESR at -‐40C provides improved performance over the entire required temperature range. Get the Highest Power in the Smallest Possible Space TDD series capacitors are uniquely designed for high energy density and low ESR, providing small size, high power and less heat generation than other capacitor technologies. With the goal to provide higher specific power and reduced cooling requirements, the TDD series was developed by Evans in concert with a major defense contractor in an advanced phased array radar development effort. The unique internal construction of the TDD design reduced the already low ESR of the previous EVANSCAPS models by 50%, resulting in faster rise times and greatly reduced cooling requirements. This supports even larger currents and

more aggressive duty cycles. The TDD capacitors enabled the system design for higher power while eliminating the cooling requirement for the Capacitors. The TDD series has now been expanded into four different case sizes to provide a wide a wide capacitance range with 10V to 125V operation. The DLA (DSCC) has issued dwg #15010 for the TDD series Hybrid Capacitors.
