Product Description
For serious long-range FPV pilots and UAV operators, the 1.2GHz (1160-1280MHz) band represents the gold standard for video transmission—offering superior penetration through foliage, buildings, and terrain that higher frequencies simply cannot match. This 1.2GHz 40W RF Power Amplifier takes that natural advantage to its absolute极限, delivering a commanding 46dBm (40W) of clean output power with 40dB gain across the full 1160-1280MHz range. Leveraging advanced GaN (Gallium Nitride) technology for exceptional efficiency and thermal performance, it operates on a 28V DC supply with just 3.2A current draw at full output. Housed in a rugged aluminum enclosure with SMA female connectors, it's engineered for pilots and professionals who refuse to compromise on range and reliability.

Key Advantages
40W on 1.2GHz represents the ultimate long-range weapon for FPV pilots and RF professionals. The 1.2GHz band already offers superior penetration through trees, buildings, and terrain compared to 2.4GHz or 5.8GHz—which is why it's the top choice for serious distance pilots. When you couple that natural advantage with 40W (46dBm) of clean, linear power, you create a video or data link that represents the absolute state-of-the-art in RF performance—reaching 6-10x further than standard 1W transmitters with rock-solid reliability even in the most challenging environments.
Advanced GaN technology delivers higher efficiency, better thermal performance, and greater power density than conventional silicon-based designs. The result is 40W of clean output in a package that weighs just 150g—an extraordinary power-to-weight ratio that makes it ideal for both drone mounting and portable ground station use.
The 40dB gain turns even the weakest VTX output into a full 40W transmission with consistent, predictable linearity. Despite the extreme power output, current draw remains highly efficient at just 3.2A—allowing you to achieve maximum range without prematurely draining your drone's battery or overloading your ground station's power system.
Thermal management is engineered for sustained high-power operation. The rugged aluminum housing efficiently dissipates heat without active cooling in most scenarios, while the compact 96×53×17mm footprint and 150g weight make it easy to integrate into tight drone frames or portable ground station enclosures.
Precision-tuned for 1160-1280MHz, this amplifier delivers optimal performance across the full 1.2GHz spectrum used by FPV pioneers, amateur radio operators, and aviation professionals. When 10W, 20W, or even 30W simply isn't enough, 40W delivers the ultimate power for those who refuse to compromise.
