Key Advantages
Why 10W for 2.5-2.7GHz S-band applications? The S-band is one of the most critical frequency ranges for defense, aerospace, and infrastructure systems—home to weather radars, military telemetry, satellite ground links, and aircraft surveillance. These applications demand exceptional signal integrity and range, where every dB of transmit power translates directly to mission success. 10W (40dBm) of clean, linear output power delivers the performance required for these demanding use cases, ensuring reliable links even in adverse conditions.
The 40dB gain transforms low-power signal sources (such as telemetry modems, radar exciters, or satellite terminals) into full 10W output with consistent, predictable performance. With just 1.5A current draw at full power, this amplifier provides massive output without compromising system power budgets—critical for airborne, mobile, and remote installations.
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 allow easy integration into ground stations, radar shelters, UAV payload bays, or satellite terminal enclosures.
Wide voltage tolerance (24V standard, customizable to 28V) ensures compatibility with 6S LiPo batteries, aircraft electrical systems, and standard rack-mount power supplies. With SMA female connectors on both input and output, integration with existing RF chains is completely straightforward.
Precision-tuned for the 2500-2700MHz S-band, this amplifier covers critical frequencies used by weather radar, satellite ground stations, military telemetry, and aviation surveillance systems—ensuring optimal performance exactly where you need it.
