Klystron HPAs
Communications & Power Industries
CPI's GEN IV klystron power amplifier (KPA) is the overwhelming choice among Direct-to-Home service providers for uplink service, and is also very popular for other broadcasting applications. As the first KPA to utilize multi-stage depressed collector (MSDC) technology, the GEN IV offers by far the best combination of high power, high efficiency, small size, low heat dissipation and low acoustic noise in its class.

Crossed-Field Amplifiers
CFAs
Communications & Power Industries
CPI BMD’s crossed-field amplifiers (CFAs) are broadband, phase-stable microwave amplifiers used in coherent radar chains to efficiently generate very high peak output powers from relatively low input voltages which can be either applied to the cathode or an electrode similar to a TWTs cathode or grid pulsing, and in relatively small, lightweight packages. These characteristics make CFAs particularly well-suited for applications in which the transmitter must be either airborne, transportable, mobile or portable.
