Solid State Power Amplifiers for ATC &

Radar

• Air Traffic Control (ATC) Radar systems have

historically used tube-based amplifiers to produce

high power pulsed RF transmitters

– Klystrons, magnetrons, travelling wave tubes

• Solid state RF amplifiers have significant advantages

for long term reliability and reduced maintenance

costs

• GaN and LDMOS technologies allow Ampleon to

produce RF transistors with higher output powers and

lower €/Watt costs to upgrade old radars

• Active electronically scanned array (AESA) radars

using multiple lower power transmit/receive modules

to steer radar beams (no mechanical moving parts)

• Established market leader

• Best In Class Technologies

– Best-in-class & cost-efficient LDMOS

– Best-in-class GaN linearity

• ITAR-free product offering in compliance with Export

Control regulation using the Dual-Use list that is the outcome of the Wassenaar

agreement

• Comprehensive product portfolio

• Dedicated longevity program, min 10

years





Technology positioning of LDMOS & GaN

• LDMOS is the best RF Power technology up to S band for low cost (€/$ per W)

– technically optimized for power, efficiency, ruggedness & linearity

• High voltage (50V) LDMOS for 1GHz applications including Avionics and UHF/L-band radar

– superior performance to bipolar technology , utilizing technology advances from broadcasting / ISM

– extremely suitable for pulsed operation

• State-Of-The-Art 9th Generation LDMOS technology up to S band

– brings next step in performance for L-band and S-Band radar plus market leading high power density, gain and

efficiency & promising results at C band.

• GaN the best technology for high frequency & broadband applications

– Ampleon Gen1 / Gen3 50V GaN on SiC up to 6GHz and Gen3 28V GaN on SiC up to X band

– GaN broadband amplifiers for 700MHz to 2700MHz (not possible with LDMOS) & GaN has better efficiency than

LDMOS at high frequencies

Broadband GaN03



Doherty 05





Broadband GaN Amplifiers

• Unmatched GaN devices can be used to

make very broadband RF amplifiers

• Broadband amplifiers are required for

– RF and EMC testing equipment

– “software” defined radio communications

– RF jamming of mobile phones (in prisons)

– RF jamming of UAV/drones (secure locations)

– RF jamming of improvised explosive devices

• Ampleon have a number of broadband GaN

demo boards available





Ampleon GaN : Best in Class Linearity, ITAR free

Ampleon’s GaN process technology features best-in-class linearity while at the same time allowing

designers to maintain power, ruggedness and efficiency.

Portfolio includes 10 Watt and 30 Watt drivers useable up to C band and 50W, 100W and 200W finals

useable up to S band.

Design tools such as electrical models, application design reports are available .





Ampleon is your reliable European GaN Source

• Ampleon benefits from our market leading

position in RF power

– giving customers a reliable partner with the scale to

deliver in volume.

– a combination of innovation in technology

development (Nijmegen Design Center) and

industrial strength for assembly and test (Ampleon

Factory in Manila) that GaN competitors are unable

to match

• Why ITAR-free GaN is so important

– European GaN Source , following Dutch export

control regulations.

– US suppliers are limited by ITAR restrictions which

constrain supply of critical technologies to the global

customers limiting their export business.

– bringing leading edge GaN technology to market

with foundry partners for ITAR-free devices

ENVIRONMENTS

Industrial, Scientific, Medical

• Power levels up to 1900 W in a single device

• Extremely Rugged portfolio with VSWR > 65:1

• The market leader in Global ISM solutions for

the last 35 years

• Technology leader for 28 V and 50 V LDMOS

technologies

• Strong innovation for enabling technologies,

packaging and applications





Gen9 High Voltage Technology Benefits

• Last 50V generation was GEN6 HV.

• GEN9 HV, based on GEN9, incorporates all

the improvements of generations 7,8 and 9.

• In addition, GEN9 HV includes a lot of new

drain engineering. This resulted in a major

decrease in on-resistance and subsequent

increase of current capability and efficiency.

UHF-TV Market Today

• Class-AB UHF-TV Transmitters Phasing Out

• Narrow Band Doherty widely accepted for UHF-TV, in

volume production

• Ultra Wideband Doherty (UWB Doherty) widely

accepted for UHF-TV and in volume production.

• Symmetrical Odd-Mode Doherty (OM Doherty)

explored for UHF-TV, but future efforts will focus on

Asymmetrical OM Doherty.

• Customers continue to look for more efficiency

• Relatively low VHF-TV activity, but seeing some

increased level of activity.

• Envelope Tracking concept didn’t make it in the

market.

• Ampleon has captured the majority of the UHF-TV

market and is supplying to all major players.





UHF-TV Trends Forward

• UHF-TV Band is shrinking, down to 800MHz

or even 700MHz due to need for wireless

infrastructure LTE spectrum .

• Customers are looking for higher transmitter

and thus PA efficiency (high 40’s, low 50’s)

• This drives the need for Asymmetrical

Doherty power amplifiers:

– BLF888E (UWB Asymmetrical)

– Asymmetrical Odd-Mode (OM) Doherty

– Asymmetrical conventional Doherty (narrowband)





Broadcast: #1 Supplier and Application Leader

• Highest power enabled by 50 V LDMOS

processes

• Unprecedented ruggedness

• Best performance over entire UHF

bandwidth

• Experts in (Broadband) Doherty

Doherty UHF BLF888E

Conclusions BLF888E application

boards

• 150Wavg/48-55% efficiency is

achieved in 3 application boards of

BLF888E, covering 470 – 800Mhz

(low-mid-high band)

• Shoulder distance pre corrected to

<-38dBc in UHF band 470-800Mhz.

• Achieved gain level is >15dB in UHF

band 470-800Mhz.





Asymmetrical Ultra-Wideband Doherty

470-700Mhz

• BLF888E used is 150Wavg DVB-T, 6th generation LDMOS in a SOT539 package.

• BLF888E lower section is the Main amplifier, the upper section is the Peak amplifier.

• The power ratio is 1:1.5 for optimum efficiency with DVB-T (and ATSC-3) signals.

• Demo is tuned for the frequency band 470 to 700 Mhz (a relative bandwidth of 39%).

• This demo can be used with the 650 - 800 Mhz demo (AR151004) to cover the full UHF band (470 to

800Mhz) or can be used as full band amplifier in regions where 700Mhz is the max. frequency.

• The present design was slightly optimised for the lower UHF freqs but can be tuned differently if

needed.

• BLF888E Asymmetrical Doherty Transistor in SOT539

• Ratio Main/Peak is 1:1.5

• 150WAVG DVB-T

• Results

– 470-700MHz

– Efficiency >44% @ 150WAVG DVB-T

– Gain > 15dB @ 150WAVG DVB-T

– Correctable with Exciter to <-38dBc
