Amplifiers are designed for a range of aircraft power supplies, thermal batteries for naval launch, and the associated mechanical environments. TMD is currently under contract to develop the power supply for the EFA towed decoy. Communications TMD manufactures a range of TWT and klystron amplifiers for wide ranging military communications applications. The ultra compact technology is ideally suited to future lightweight hub mounted amplifiers for fixed, transportable, mobile and man portable requirements. They have been developed from military products to provide high reliability, but low cost, flexible solutions to meet customer needs.
Engineering support is provided both at the design stage and throughout product life.
The growth of terrestrial microwave power density has given rise to the need to address EMC aspects of, in particular, airborne electronic control systems. TMD also provides customised amplifier solutions for component and subsystem testing, for example antennae, couplers, circulators, microwave loads and integrated subsystems. In materials science, microwave amplifiers are found in many spectroscopy applications, providing information on the composition of unknown samples. Materials processing At higher power levels, TMD microwave amplifiers are being used to fundamentally alter material properties. At the very highest power levels this type of technology is finding application in the disposal of dangerous waste, for example clinical waste and toxic chemicals.
