DTI -Â Radar Systems
Hundreds of radar systems in operation today utilize thyratrons, spark gaps, or switch tubes for high pulse repetition frequency pulse modulation. These vacuum tube modulators are expensive to maintain, and their relatively short lifetimes constitute a significant operational expense. DTI has modernized radar transmitters, and built high performance new radar transmitters, across a wide range of applications.
DTI`s solid-state, high voltage switches work as high-power cathode modulators for klystrons, CFAs or magnetrons, and as low-power modulators for tubes that use modulating anodes, grids, or control electrodes. PowerMod™ switches are perfect for retrofits, test sets and new designs. A transmitter upgrade using DTI`s modern, solid-state technology may be the most cost-effective answer to problems of high failure rates and lengthy repair procedures common to older transmitters. A retrofit may encompass a few components or a complete turn-key transmitter replacement.
DTI`s high-efficiency modulators are inherently pulse-width agile, and can open in less than a microsecond, often eliminating the need for a conventional crowbar.
Below is a list of publications relating to DTI`s radar technologies and applications.
