Radar Block Diagram
CPI BMD produces a compact, more efficient integrated component, by
optimizing performance, reducing development costs and ultimately,
providing increased functionality to the end product.
This Radar Block Diagram depicts the various building blocks of a typical radar system that CPI BMD is
capable of integrating to fit your design needs.

Historically, radar system designers selected various components from different suppliers without
the ability to accomodate how they interact. CPI BMD has a successful history of providing addi-
tional functionality to receiver protectors, by integrating passive and active components into a
single, Integrated Microwave Assembly (IMA).

CPI’s Beverly Microwave Division (CPI
BMD) has been designing and manufac-
turing receiver protector products at its
Beverly, Massachusetts location continu-
ously for over 60 years. CPI BMD is the
largest and most sophisticated manufac-
turer of such products in the world today.
Current designs span the spectrum from
low-frequency coaxial limiters to complete
Pre-TR Limiter, TR limiters with attenuation
and phase control up to Ka-Band.
CPI BMD's products are manufactured in
all transmission line types, including wave-
guide, coax, stripline and microstrip.
Advances in computer-aided modeling
techniques have made it possible for CPI
BMD to achieve performance levels that
would have been unheard of only a few
years ago. CPI BMD's modern and exten-
sive low- and high-power test facilities
allow for complete verification of specified
performance parameters.
Communications & Power Industries is the world’s largest manufacturer of Receiver Protectors
