Product Description
The 1000-2000MHz L-band serves as a critical spectrum for satellite communications (SATCOM) , GPS navigation, aviation surveillance (ADS-B) , mobile telemetry, and military data links—applications that demand consistent high-power performance across a broad frequency range. This 1000-2000MHz 10W GaN Broadband Power Amplifier delivers a robust 40dBm (10W) of clean output power with 38dB gain across the full 1000-2000MHz spectrum, covering L-band satellite downlinks, GPS L1/L2, aviation transponders, and countless other mission-critical systems. 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 and built-in power control, it's engineered for professionals who need wideband flexibility and reliable high-power performance across the L-band spectrum.
Typical Applications
- Satellite Communications (SATCOM): Amplify ground-to-satellite and satellite-to-ground links in L-band

Key Advantages
With 10W (40dBm) of clean GaN-powered output, this amplifier delivers 5-8× the effective range of standard 1W transmitters across the entire L-band, covering SATCOM, GPS, aviation surveillance, and military telemetry in a single wideband solution. The 38dB gain ensures consistent, predictable linearity even from low-power exciters, while the compact 120g design and efficient 0.8A current draw make it ideal for both drone mounting and ground station integration.
Built-in remote power control via the 3-28V red wire allows dynamic output adjustment—connect to a flight controller's AUX output for real-time power management during flight or ground operations. The wide 24-28V voltage tolerance ensures compatibility with 6S LiPo batteries, vehicle electrical systems, and regulated power supplies, while SMA-K connectors enable plug-and-play integration with existing RF chains.
Precision-tuned for the 1000-2000MHz L-band, this amplifier covers critical frequencies used by satellite ground stations, aviation surveillance, GPS systems, military telemetry, and aerospace applications. Whether deployed in fixed infrastructure or mobile field operations, it delivers the wideband flexibility and brute power that mission-critical systems demand.
