Product Description
The 100-1000MHz spectrum spans critical communication bands including VHF aviation (118-137MHz) , marine radio, public safety networks, military tactical communications, amateur radio (6m/2m/70cm bands) , and SCADA telemetry—all in a single, wideband range. This 100-1000MHz 5W GaN Broadband Power Amplifier delivers a robust 37dBm (5W) of clean output power with 35dB gain across the full 100-1000MHz spectrum, providing consistent, efficient performance across VHF and UHF frequencies in an ultracompact unit. Leveraging advanced GaN (Gallium Nitride) technology for superior efficiency, linearity, and thermal performance, it operates on a 22-28V DC supply with just 0.45A current draw at full output. Housed in a lightweight aluminum enclosure with SMAK connectors and builtin power control, it's engineered for professionals who need reliable, wideband amplification in a portable, powersensitive form factor.
Typical Applications
- VHF Aviation Communications (118-137MHz): Amplify groundtoair and airtoground communication links
- Public Safety & Emergency Services: Boost police, fire, and EMS radio networks across VHF/UHF bands
- Military Tactical Communications: Wideband amplification for fielddeployed communication equipment
- Marine & Maritime Communications: Enhance shiptoshore and vesseltovessel radio links
- Amateur Radio (HAM) 6m, 2m & 70cm Bands: Highefficiency linear amplification for VHF/UHF operations
- SCADA & Industrial Telemetry: Extend range for remote monitoring and control systems

Key Advantages
With 5W (37dBm) of clean GaNpowered output across the 100-1000MHz spectrum, this amplifier delivers 3-5× the effective range of standard 1W transceivers while maintaining exceptional efficiency—ideal for portable and batterypowered applications where power consumption is critical. The 35dB gain ensures consistent, predictable linearity even from lowpower exciters, while the ultracompact 120g design and efficient 0.45A current draw make it the perfect choice for handheld devices, drone integration, and fielddeployable communication kits.
Builtin remote power control via the 3-28V red wire allows dynamic output adjustment—perfect for realtime power management in portable field kits, drone operations, or batterysensitive deployments. The wide 22-28V voltage tolerance ensures compatibility with 4S-6S LiPo batteries, vehicle electrical systems, and regulated power supplies, while SMAK connectors enable plugandplay integration with existing RF chains.
Precisiontuned for the 100-1000MHz range, this amplifier covers critical frequencies used in aviation communications, public safety networks, military tactical radios, marine systems, amateur radio, and industrial telemetry. Whether deployed in field command posts, emergency response vehicles, UAV ground stations, or portable test equipment, it delivers the wideband flexibility and efficient power that VHF/UHF communication systems demand.
