Comtech Telecommunications Corp says that its subsidiary Comtech PST Corp in Melville, NY, USA has been awarded a $3.1m contract for solid-state, high-power RF switches from a major domestic prime contractor.
The firm says that the switches provide very broad frequency coverage and are key components in an integrated electronic countermeasures system used by the US military.
“This significant order demonstrates Comtech's technical strength in delivering solid-state, broadband high-power RF switches for military applications,” says Comtech Telecommunications’ president & CEO Fred Kornberg. “The market for our high-power RF switch products remains strong,” he believes.
Comtech PST supplies broadband, high-power, high-performance RF microwave amplifiers and switches using gallium nitride (GaN) transistor technology for applications including defense, medical, satellite communications systems and instrumentation. Parent company Comtech Telecommunications conducts business through three complementary segments: telecommunications transmission, RF microwave amplifiers and mobile data communications.
