Product Description
Wideband RF systems operating across the 100-1000MHz spectrum—from VHF/UHF communications and FPV video transmission to drone telemetry, military radios, and aerospace testing—demand an amplifier that delivers consistent power across an exceptionally broad frequency range. This 100-1000MHz 10W GaN Broadband Power Amplifier delivers a robust 40dBm (10W) of clean output power with 38dB gain across the full 100-1000MHz spectrum, covering VHF, UHF, and everything in between in a single compact unit. Leveraging advanced GaN (Gallium Nitride) technology for superior efficiency, linearity, and thermal performance, it operates on a 24-28V DC supply with just 0.8A current draw at full output. Housed in a rugged aluminum enclosure with SMA-K connectors, it's engineered for professionals who need wideband flexibility without compromising on power or reliability.
Typical Applications
- FPV VTX Systems: Broadband video transmission across VHF/UHF frequencies for long-range FPV operations
- UAV Telemetry & Control: Wideband command and data links for drones and unmanned systems
- Military & Tactical Communications: Broadband amplification for field-deployed communication equipment
- Amateur Radio (HAM) VHF/UHF: High-power linear amplification across 2m, 70cm, and other bands
- Aerospace & Avionics: Wideband RF front-end for test, telemetry, and communication systems
- Public Safety & Emergency Communications: Broadband booster for police, fire, and EMS radio networks
- SCADA & Industrial Telemetry: Long-range data transmission for remote monitoring and control

Key Advantages
10W of GaN-powered broadband amplification delivers unmatched flexibility across 100-1000MHz. The 100-1000MHz range encompasses VHF, UHF, and critical communications bands used in FPV, aviation, military, public safety, and amateur radio. With 10W (40dBm) of clean output power across this entire spectrum—all in a single amplifier—you eliminate the need for multiple narrowband amps, simplifying your RF chain and reducing equipment costs. This amplifier provides 5-8x the effective range of standard 1W transmitters across all covered frequencies.
Advanced GaN technology delivers higher efficiency, better thermal performance, and greater power density than conventional designs. The result is 10W of clean output across a 10:1 bandwidth ratio in a package that weighs just 120g—an extraordinary power-to-weight and bandwidth-to-size ratio unmatched in this class.
The 38dB gain transforms low-power exciters (handheld radios, transceivers, or signal generators) into full 10W transmitters with consistent, predictable performance. Despite the wideband operation, current draw remains efficient at just 0.8A—ensuring you get maximum output without draining your power source.
Built-in power control via the 3-28V red wire allows remote output adjustment—perfect for dynamic power management in drone or ground station deployments. Connect to a flight controller's AUX output for real-time power control during flight.
Wide voltage tolerance (24-28V) ensures compatibility with 6S LiPo batteries, vehicle electrical systems, and regulated power supplies. With SMA-K connectors on both input and output, integration with existing RF chains is completely straightforward.
Broadband coverage from 100-1000MHz means one amplifier serves multiple applications—FPV VTX, VHF/UHF comms, amateur radio, telemetry, and more—making it the ultimate flexible solution for professionals who demand versatility.
