DESCRIPTION:Microwave and millimeter-wave power modules (MPMs) are complete
  microwave power amplifiers in a single housing\, and usually include a so
 lid-state driver amplifier\, a miniature traveling wave tube (TWT)\, and a
 n electronic power converter (EPC). At the time of their introduction\, MP
 Ms were hailed as “the most significant recent advancement in high power
  microwave amplifiers\,” but they have seen relatively little applicatio
 n in space\, despite extensive heritage in the ground and airborne systems
 . When combined with a linearizer they can offer the most compact and effi
 cient high-power amplification available for the higher microwave and mill
 imeter-wave bands in the 25-to-200-watt power range. New “nano” techno
 logy has further reduced the size and increased the efficiency of MPMs\, w
 hile the development of more versatile linearizers now allows their charac
 teristics to be adjusted to correct for changes in an amplifier’s nonlin
 earity. These advances allow these amazing devices to be used in space for
  shaped\, multi-beam and phased array applications.\n\nSpeaker(s): Dr. Al
