CPI Electron Device Business (EDB) is a manufacturer of electronic components and subsystems focused primarily on the defense market. The company develops, manufactures and globally distributes innovative and reliable technology solutions used in the generation, amplification, transmission and reception of microwave signals for commercial and military applications. CPI EDB serves customers in the communications, defense, medical, industrial and scientific markets.
CPI EDB has an extensive portfolio of several thousand products that is comprised of a wide range of Vacuum Electron Devices (VEDs) and solid-state power devices. CPI EDB’s products are used to:
- generate or amplify (multiply) various forms of electromagnetic energy (these products are generally referred to as VEDs, electron devices, solid-state devices or simply as devices);
- transmit, direct, measure and control electromagnetic energy;
- provide the voltages and currents to power and control devices that generate electromagnetic energy; or
- provide some combination of the above functions.
VEDs were initially developed for defense applications but their use has been extended to many commercial markets. CPI EDB uses tailored variations of this key technology to address the various frequency and power requirements in each of CPI EDB’s target markets. CPI EDB’s VED products derive from, or are enhancements to, the original VED technology on which the company was founded. Most of CPI EDB's other products were natural offshoots of the original VED technology and were developed in response to the opportunities and requirements in the market for more fully integrated products and services. The type of device selected for a specific application is based on the operating parameters required by the system.
