DATA S H E E T MICROWAVE POWER MODULE FOR COMMUNICATIONS LD79A02K 30 GHz, 20 W CW, LIGHT WEIGHT, COMPACT, EFFICIENT GENERAL DESCRIPTION MPM stands for Microwave Power Module and is the solution introduced by NEC for a microwave power source with high efficiency and the most compact size. The MPM consists of a miniaturized traveling wave tube (TWT) and an electronic power conditioner (EPC). All the potential interface problems are taken care of by NEC and the user simply connects the MPM to his RF output and plugs in the DC supply. LD79A02K is a complete integrated unit and can deliver an output power of 20 W over the range of 27.5 to 30.0 GHz with a gain of 40 dB. The TWT of RF section in the LD79A02K has been designed and developed upon the NEC's advanced technology and enormous experience on a number of TWTs used in satellite ground terminals and terrestrial microwave links. The very small and light weight EPC designed with sophisticated and experienced circuit technology ensures higher reliability, reduced maintenance costs and improved technical performance. The LD79A02K is most suitable for a power amplifier in LMDS and Multimedia Satellite communication systems. FEATURES ™ Light weight, Compact, and Efficient The TWT built in the MPM has a dual-depressed collector and is designed to operate at high efficiency across the power output range. The EPC features state-of-the-art techniques to optimize size and efficiency and the combination results in a unit significantly smaller and with less power consumption than a comparable solid state amplifier. ™ Low Distortion NEC has developed techniques for the correction of non-linear distortion of gain and phase generated in a TWT. As a result, the MPM has optimum performance across a broad power range and is ideally suited for multi-carrier transmission systems. ™ Long Life The TWT is designed to have a lifetime of 80,000 hours or more, which is comparable to that of a solid state amplifier in actual usage. ™ Ideal for Digital Systems A mini-arcing in the electron gun have been eliminated in the TWT.

No license, either express, implied or otherwise, is granted under any patents, copyrights or other intellectual property rights of NEC Corporation or others. While NEC Corporation has been making continuous effort to enhance the reliability of its electronic components, the possibility of defects cannot be eliminated entirely. To minimize risks of damage or injury to persons or property arising from a defect in an NEC electronic component, customers must incorporate sufficient safety measures in its design, such as redundancy, fire-containment, and anti-failure features. NEC devices are classified into the following three quality grades: “Standard”, “Special”, and “Specific”. The Specific quality grade applies only to devices developed based on a customer designated “quality assurance program” for a specific application. The recommended applications of a device depend on its quality grade, as indicated below. Customers must check the quality grade of each device before using it in a particular application. Standard: Computers, office equipment, communications equipment, test and measurement equipment, audio and visual equipment, home electronic appliances, machine tools, personal electronic equipment and industrial robots Special: Transportation equipment (automobiles, trains, ships, etc.), traffic control systems, anti-disaster systems, anti-crime systems, safety equipment and medical equipment (not specifically designed for life support) Specific: Aircrafts, aerospace equipment, submersible repeaters, nuclear reactor control systems, life support systems or medical equipment for life support, etc. The quality grade of NEC devices is "Standard" unless otherwise specified in NEC's Data Sheets or Data Books. If customers intend to use NEC devices for applications other than those specified for Standard quality grade, they should contact an NEC sales representative in advance. Anti-radioactive design is not implemented in this product. Printed on recycled paper
