MPM Presentation

Electron Devices' Microwave Power Module (MPM) is a supercomponent combining a solid state driver with vacuum power booster (VPB) and integrated power conditioner (IPC) in one package that is much smaller, lighter and more efficient than the traditional TWTA. The VPB and IPC are manufactured at our San Carlos plant, providing the user with standard or custom designs at one location.

The MPM is available in all bands from 2 to 46 GHz with output powers from 40 up to 150 Watts. They are offered in small and light Military qualified formats or slightly larger and lower cost Commercial versions.

Electron Devices' MPMs are used in the USAF Predator and Global Hawk UAVs as well as various Satcom applications around the world.
