Product Description
The 2000-3000MHz S-band is one of the most strategically important frequency ranges for defense, aerospace, and infrastructure—home to weather radar systems, satellite communications (SATCOM) , military telemetry, aviation surveillance, and aerospace testing. This 2000-3000MHz 30W GaN Broadband Power Amplifier delivers a robust 45dBm (30W) of clean output power with 40dB gain across the full 2000-3000MHz spectrum, covering critical S-band frequencies used in ground-to-satellite links, weather monitoring, and secure tactical networks. Leveraging advanced GaN (Gallium Nitride) technology for superior efficiency, linearity, and thermal performance, it operates on a 28V DC supply with just 2.4A 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 S-band spectrum.

Key Advantages
With 30W (45dBm) of clean GaN-powered output across the 2000-3000MHz S-band, this amplifier delivers 6-10× the effective range of standard 1W transmitters, covering weather radar, satellite uplinks, military telemetry, and aviation surveillance in a single wideband solution. The 40dB gain ensures consistent, predictable linearity even from low-power exciters, while the efficient 2.4A current draw and 210g compact design make it ideal for both ground stations and airborne platforms.
Built-in remote power control via the 3-28V red wire allows dynamic output adjustment—perfect for real-time power management in radar systems, satellite terminals, or drone operations. The 28V operating voltage ensures compatibility with aircraft electrical systems, battery banks, and regulated power supplies, while SMA-K connectors enable plug-and-play integration with existing RF chains.
Precision-tuned for the 2000-3000MHz S-band, this amplifier covers critical frequencies used by weather radar, satellite ground stations, military telemetry, aviation surveillance, and aerospace applications. Whether deployed in fixed infrastructure or mobile field operations, it delivers the wideband flexibility and reliable power that mission-critical S-band systems demand.
