Abstract
This paper reviews various techniques that allow efficient amplification of amplitude-modulated radar pulses through some type of supply modulation. Examples at S and X-band with GaN PAs will be shown with efficiencies above 50% for 10-W transmitters and greatly reduced spectral sidelobes.
