Key Advantages
Why 30W in the 2.5-2.7GHz S-band delivers the ultimate advantage. The S-band is one of the most strategically important frequency ranges for defense, aerospace, and infrastructure—home to weather radars, military telemetry, satellite ground stations, and aircraft surveillance systems. These applications demand uncompromising signal integrity and range, where every extra dB of transmit power translates directly to mission success and operational safety. With 30W (45dBm) of clean, linear output, this amplifier delivers the ultimate performance margin that separates reliable links from critical data loss in the most demanding scenarios.
The 40dB gain transforms low-power exciters (telemetry modems, radar drivers, satellite terminals, or test equipment) into full 30W transmitters with consistent, predictable linearity. Despite the extreme power output, current draw remains efficient at just 2.8A—allowing integration into power-sensitive platforms without overloading the system.
Thermal performance is engineered for sustained high-power operation. The rugged aluminum housing provides efficient passive cooling, capable of dissipating the significant thermal load from 30W continuous operation, while the compact 96×53×17mm footprint and 150g weight make it easy to integrate into ground stations, radar shelters, UAV payload bays, or airborne platforms.
Wide voltage tolerance ensures compatibility with 6S LiPo batteries, aircraft electrical systems, vehicle power, and standard rack-mount supplies. With SMA female connectors on both input and output, integration with existing RF chains is completely plug-and-play.
Precision-tuned for the 2500-2700MHz S-band, this amplifier covers critical frequencies used by weather radar, satellite ground stations, military telemetry, aviation surveillance, and aerospace systems. When 10W or 20W isn't enough, 30W delivers the ultimate performance for those who demand nothing less than the best.
