Microlynx Systems is a Calgary electronics and software-development company that develops high-frequency transmitter, amplification, filtering and control systems for over-the-horizon radar applications.
Operating context
Microlynx Systems provides electronics engineering and a modular HF radar transmit-site architecture from Calgary. M4000 combines waveform generation, 3–30 MHz amplification/filtering, GPS-disciplined synchronization and a Windows control/monitoring console. It scales from one to 64 four-kilowatt transmitter modules; these are transmit-site building blocks, not a complete standalone radar sensor. PrairiesCan announced C$2 million in repayable support to improve polar over-the-horizon transmit amplifier reliability, availability and northern maintenance requirements. That funding is distinct from a prime radar acquisition contract. An integrator should establish the antenna/load interfaces, waveform requirements, synchronization, site power and cooling, environmental qualification and sustainment responsibility for the proposed configuration.
Canadian footprint
Microlynx Systems has a documented Canadian operating presence in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. Its public organization and capability evidence should be read at that location and national scope only where the cited sources explicitly support it.
Calgary, Alberta is the published city-level context for Microlynx Systems. It does not imply a street address or exact facility location.
High-frequency radar transmitter and control system
Read technical summary
Microlynx M4000 is a modular HF transmit-site architecture for over-the-horizon radar, combining waveform generation, 3–30 MHz amplification and filtering, GPS references and Windows-based control. It scales from one to 64 four-kilowatt transmitter modules; each four-kilowatt unit occupies 19U. The M4100 generator converts stored I/Q waveforms to RF and controls one to four transmitters with amplitude and phase shading. PrairiesCan’s C$2 million repayable project supports polar radar amplifier reliability and sustainment. These are transmitter building blocks whose radar coverage depends on the wider system.
Evidence of maturity
Published modular product architecture supported by an identified amplifier-improvement programme. Supplier mismatch-tolerance and system-performance statements need configuration-specific acceptance evidence; no standalone radar detection range is established here.
Commercial availability
Microlynx offers M4000 configuration and engineering customization directly. Establish antenna/load interfaces, waveforms, timing, cooling, power, site environment and sustainment responsibility before procurement.
Core features
3–30 MHz HF transmit chain with four-kilowatt amplifier modules
One to 64 modules; 19U per four-kilowatt transmitter
M4100 I/Q waveform conversion and amplitude/phase shading
M4500 GPS-disciplined 10 MHz and one-pulse-per-second references
M4600 Windows monitoring, scheduling and time-stamped logs
PrairiesCan identifies Microlynx as an RDII recipient improving high-power RF amplifiers for Polar Over the Horizon Radar; the record does not claim the company's system has been commissioned.

Microlynx M4000 is a 3–30 MHz transmit-site architecture scalable from one to 64 four-kilowatt transmitters. M4100 waveform generation, M4000-4KW amplifier/filter, M4500 GPS-disciplined reference and M4600 Windows console provide generation, synchronization, control and logging. This transmit subsystem requires the wider radar, antenna and processing architecture.
