    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valve_amplifier

    6N3C power tube. A valve amplifier or tube amplifier is a type of electronic amplifier that uses vacuum tubes to increase the amplitude or power of a signal.Low to medium power valve amplifiers for frequencies below the microwaves were largely replaced by solid state amplifiers in the 1960s and 1970s.

    The AN/FPQ-16 PARCS is a solid state phased array radar system housed "on a plain just east of the Pembina Escarpment" [2] in a 37 m (121 ft) [1] with a single-faced phased array radar pointed northward over Hudson Bay. [3] In normal operation PARCS can spot an object the size of a basketball (24 cm) at 3000 km (2000 miles).

    This is because the signal strength at the DF receiver, due to a radar transmission, is proportional to 1/R 2 whereas that at the radar receiver from the reflected return is proportional to σ/R 4, where R is the range and σ is the radar cross-section of the DF system. [36]

  8. GOES-18 - Wikipedia
