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 5W GaN Broadband Power Amplifier delivers a robust 37dBm (5W) of clean output power with 35dB 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 22-28V DC supply with just 0.45A current draw at full output. Housed in an ultracompact aluminum enclosure with SMAK connectors and builtin power control, it's engineered for professionals who need wideband flexibility and efficient, lightweight performance across the Sband spectrum.
