In this paper, a broadband Microwave Power Module(MPM) operating at 7 - 11 GHz is designed and fabricated. The MPM consists of a SSA (Solid State Amplifier) and a conventional TWT (traveling Wave Tube). This combined module takes advantage of a low noise and high gain of SSA. The computer modeling and simulation of the SSA are designed by the use of the ADS (Advanced Design System) software. The SSA is designed by configurating the CSSDA (Cascaded Single Stage Distributed Amplifier). The broadband MPM is measured to be noise figure 8.3 - 10.02 dB at 7 - 11 GHz bandwidth, output power of 38.12 dBm at 9 GHz.

To achieve functions of doppler measurement, MTI(Moving Target Indicator), high-resolution, and others in radar system, all circuits of transmitter and receiver are to be performed in coherent system. In this paper, we use TWTA(Traveling Wave Tube Amplifier), STALO(Stable Local Oscillator) and COHO(Coherent Oscillator) to design of coherent radar transceiver, and calculates noise figure of designed receiver. Using radar equation calculated noise figure, maximum detecting range of each transmitting mode can be calculated.

The research of amplifier have been actively conducted to replace the Traveling Wave Tube Amplifier (TWTA) in the mmWave. For Solid State Power Amplifiers (SSPA), which combine semiconductor-type devices to obtain high output, Low-loss, high-efficiency combination techniques are required to meet the required output as the output of a single relatively low device is relatively low. In this paper, we design and produce an 8-way waveguide combiner and a reflective loss of more than 20dB and a binding efficiency of 85% or more were identified. Field analysis calculates the critical power inside the combiner. It secured stable Power Ratings and built-in coupler for power monitoring to achieve miniaturization and light weight.

In this paper, an efficient concatenated coding scheme under the satellite channel is presented. The performance of this scheme in terms of bit error rate versus energy per information bit over white gaussian noise power density E/N has been evaluated via computer simulation as a function of various system parameters. To achieve accuracy in simulation results, the distortions caused from the satellite channel, such as the nonlinearity of the TWTA(traveling wave tube amplifier), signal distortions of the input and output filters, has been considered. The simulation results show that, through using the 2/3 punctured convolutional code as the inner code of the concatenated code system, the coding rate can be improved more over 16%, while maintaining the same system complexity and bit error performance.

An orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) system is a special case of multicarrier transmission, where a single data stream is transmitted over a number of lower-rate subcarriers. One of the main reasons to use OFDM is to increase robustness against frequency-selective fading or narrowband interference. However, in the radio systems the distortion introduced by high power amplifiers (HPA's) such as traveling wave tube amplifier (TWTA) considered in this paper, is also critical. Since the signal amplitude of the OFDM system is Rayleigh-distributed, the performance of the OFDM system is significantly degraded by the nonlinearity of the HPA in the OFDM transmitter. In this paper, we propose a simplicial canonical piecewise-linear (SCPWL) model based digital predistorter to compensate for nonlinear distortion introduced by an HPA in an OFDM system. Computer simulation is carried on an OFDM system under additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channels with 16-QAM and 64-QAM modulation schemes and modulator/demodulator implemented with 1024-point FFT/IFFT. The simulation results demonstrate that the proposed predistorter achieves significant performance improvement by effectively compensating for the nonlinearity introduced by the HPA.
