Quinstar Power Amplifiers Boost Radar, Communications, Defense Systems - RF CafeNASA Center: Jet Propulsion Laboratory Public Release Year: 2017 Reference Number: JPL-SO-206 Category: Computer Technology Origin: Solid-state power amplifiers for satellites

Abstract: As a subcontractor under an SBIR contract from the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, QuinStar Technology Inc. of Torrance, California, developed a solid-state power amplifier of unprecedented efficiency. While most comparable devices lose 20 percent of their amplified energy when their signals recombine, QuinStar's lose 8 percent. The solid-state technology requires lower voltage and is lighter, more compact, and more reliable than its tube-based predecessors, making it ideal for radars, communications equipment on spacecraft, and unmanned aerial vehicles.
