Abstract
CPI Canada is developing a new-line of pulsed Ka-band amplifiers, featuring ultra-compact size, higher power, improved efficiency, conduction cooling and space-grade reliability. The major goal of the development is to address the needs of several current and future space missions. Space-borne Ka-band radars are proposed for precision measurements of global precipitation, water surface elevation and for high resolution mapping of planetary images. This abstract presents highlights of many technological innovations used for extended interaction klystron (EIK) design, and summary of the space development programs, which are underway at CPI Canada
