Product Description
Telecom infrastructure, satellite ground stations, and enterprise wireless networks operating in the 3.4-3.6GHz band require substantial RF power to overcome path loss and deliver reliable service. This 3.5GHz 40W RF Power Amplifier delivers a powerful 46dBm (40W) of clean output power with 40dB gain across the full 3.4-3.6GHz spectrum, covering the globally recognized CBRS band, 5G mid-band allocations, and key satellite communication frequencies. Leveraging advanced GaN (Gallium Nitride) technology for exceptional efficiency and thermal performance, it operates on a 28V DC supply with just 3.2A current draw at full output. Housed in a rugged aluminum enclosure with SMA female connectors, it's engineered for demanding telecom and field deployment scenarios where maximum range and link reliability are non-negotiable.

Key Advantages
40W of clean amplification delivers the ultimate performance for 3.5GHz infrastructure applications. The 3.4-3.6GHz band offers wider bandwidth than lower UHF bands while maintaining better propagation characteristics than millimeter-wave frequencies—making it the ideal choice for 5G, fixed wireless, and satellite communications. With 40W (46dBm) of clean output power, this amplifier provides up to 6-10x the effective range of standard 1W transmitters—delivering significantly more power than lower-wattage versions—ensuring robust links in the most challenging urban and rural environments.
Advanced GaN technology delivers higher efficiency, better thermal performance, and greater power density than conventional silicon-based designs. The result is 40W of clean output in a compact form factor that weighs just 210g—an extraordinary power-to-weight ratio that makes it ideal for both fixed installations and rapid field deployment.
The 40dB gain transforms low-power exciters (modems, transceivers, or test equipment) into full 40W transmitters with consistent, predictable linearity. Current draw remains efficient at just 3.2A—allowing integration into remote, solar-powered, or battery-backed installations without excessive power consumption.
Thermal performance is engineered for reliable operation in both indoor and outdoor environments. The rugged aluminum housing provides efficient passive cooling, while the 132×53×17mm form factor and 210g weight offer improved thermal dissipation for sustained 40W operation—making it ideal for continuous duty cycles in base stations, backhaul nodes, and satellite terminals.
Precision-tuned for 3.4-3.6GHz, this amplifier covers critical allocations including the CBRS band (3.5GHz), 5G mid-band frequencies, and satellite communications. When maximum power is required, 40W delivers the ultimate performance for professionals who refuse to compromise.
