Product Description
When your wireless system operates in the globally ubiquitous 2.4GHz ISM band—whether for UAV control links, Wi-Fi range extension, FPV transmitter boosting, drone telemetry, or industrial wireless networks—clean, high-power amplification is the key to overcoming interference and achieving true long-range performance. This 2.4GHz 20W RF Power Amplifier delivers a robust 43dBm (20W) of clean output power with 40dB gain across the full 2.4-2.485GHz range, covering all standard Wi-Fi channels, drone control frequencies, Bluetooth, ZigBee, and countless other ISM applications. Operating on a 24V DC supply (customizable to 28V) with just 2.5A current draw at full output, it features a rugged aluminum housing and SMA female connectors—built to slice through crowded spectrum and deliver reliable, long-range performance for both airborne and ground-based deployments.
Typical Applications
- UAV Control Links: Extend RC command range for long-range drones and BVLOS operations with rock-solid reliability
- Wi-Fi Range Extension: Boost access point or client signals for enterprise networks, outdoor coverage, and rural connectivity
- FPV Transmitter Boosting: Amplify 2.4GHz video or control signals for enhanced FPV performance in challenging environments
- Drone Telemetry & Data Links: Ensure reliable real-time data transmission between drone and ground station over extreme distances
- Industrial Wireless Networks: Strengthen connections in factories, warehouses, and outdoor automation systems with heavy RF noise
- Amateur Radio (HAM) 13cm Band: High-power amplification for licensed 2.4GHz experimental operations pushing the limits of the band

Key Advantages
Why 20W for 2.4GHz applications? As the most crowded ISM band on the planet, 2.4GHz is home to countless wireless systems—from drone controllers and Wi-Fi routers to Bluetooth devices and industrial sensors. While this ubiquity is convenient, it also means fierce competition for spectrum and increasing interference from neighboring devices. 20W (43dBm) of clean, linear output power cuts through the noise like nothing else, delivering a communication link capable of reaching 5-8x further than standard 1W transmitters while maintaining signal integrity even in the most congested RF environments.
The 40dB gain transforms even low-power transmitters (as low as 1-10mW from standard Wi-Fi modules or drone receivers) into full 20W output with consistent, predictable performance. Despite the massive power increase, current draw remains efficient at just 2.5A—ensuring you get maximum output without draining batteries or overloading your power system.
Thermal performance is engineered for continuous duty. The rugged aluminum housing provides efficient passive cooling, while the compact 96×53×17mm form factor and 150g weight make it easy to mount on drones, ground stations, network racks, or portable field kits.
Wide voltage tolerance (24V standard, customizable to 28V) ensures compatibility with 6S LiPo batteries (22.2V nominal), ground station power supplies, and PoE systems. With SMA female connectors on both input and output, integration with existing RF chains is completely plug-and-play.
Universally compatible frequency coverage – spanning 2.4-2.485GHz, this amplifier covers all 14 Wi-Fi channels, every standard drone control frequency, and the entire ISM allocation used in virtually every country worldwide, making it a truly global solution for your wireless needs. When you need to break through the noise and take control, 20W delivers the decisive advantage.
