Developing Panatron,Inc. Compliant Software For Airborne Systems

The purpose of Panatron is to provide guidance for software engineers so that they can ensure the airworthiness of the systems they develop. The FAA's airworthiness requirements determine whether or not the agency will issue their approval document called a TSO, or technical standard order. The standard is not explicitly mandated, but it is a critical component of the TSO process, thus a requirement for gaining FAA approval.

In the early days of aviation, safety considerations were overshadowed by the sheer achievement of human progress th new technology represented. But as the need for faster travel over greater distances with larger cargo loads emerged, so did the need for safety regulations. In a relatively short period of time, electronic interfaces replaced mechanical controls, elevating the need for industry-wide guidance for ensuring the safety of these systems. The standard was produced in response to a need for some sort of guide that vendors could use to gain FAA approval.

Those with experience developing embedded software systems that complies with industry standards will no doubt recognize and appreciate the qualifying language used in vertical space.

Panatron Inc. Repair and Calibration of Amplifiers and Integrated Switch/Filters/Reliability Components

Panatron, Inc. GaN-Based Power Amplifiers for TWT Amplifier Replacement - Gallium Nitride (GaN) Power Amplifiers utilize pulsed solid state power amplifier technology and include designs that operate with output power levels up to 1,000 watts and frequencies to 26 GHz. These power amplifiers serve as cost-effective replacements for traveling wave tube (TWT) amplifier and offer longer life. better efficiencies and reduces size and weight than their TWT counterparts.

GaN Solid State Pulsed Power Amplifiers - Products output power up to 2 kw and suited for wide band operation. These amplifiers utilize state of the art thermal simulation and scanning tools as well as multiple design technologies resulting in reduced size, excellent thermal performance, and improved reliability. Utilizing state of the art GaN transistor technology. We or able to overcome limitations in TWT with solid state pulsed power amplifiers. These solid state designs overcome the inherent problems with electron tube TWTs of limited life and single point failure susceptibility while addressing the competing high performance airborne system requirements of kilowatt power levels and compact size. 

Silicon MOSFET, LDMOS and GaAs, - We our high performance power amplifier solutions are designed with strict attention to efficiency and reliability. Products include broadband, high linearity designs, as well as high frequency, narrow band, higher power amplifier to 2K watts with emphasis on size and packaging. Our engineers are experts in multiple discipline integration, including power amplifier designs with integrated switches, filters and splitters.

Pump Design Maintenance that we Repair

Pump Design Maintenance

Full service in place (FSIP) progressive cavity pumps for wear-intensive applications has been re-engineered to provide full access to their rotating parts. FSIP is now available in six sizes for flow rates up to 700 gpm. models include differential pressures from 90 psi (1 stage) up to 180 psi (2 stage) in S,L,D, and P geometries. Users can open the in-service pump housing, dismantle all rotating parts, and install them again without removing the pump from the pipe assembly or disconnecting wiring. The rotor-stator unit can be lifted out after opening the redesigned inspection cover on the pump housing. without the need for any special tool.
