Product Description
The 4000-5000MHz C-band serves as a critical spectrum for satellite communications (SATCOM) , 5G infrastructure, weather radar systems, point-to-point microwave links, and aerospace telemetry—applications that demand consistent, efficient performance across a wide frequency range. This 4000-5000MHz 5W GaN Broadband Power Amplifier delivers a robust 37dBm (5W) of clean output power with 35dB gain across the full 4000-5000MHz spectrum, covering C-band satellite downlinks and uplinks, 5G mid-band frequencies, and radar systems. 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 satellite operators, telecom engineers, and field technicians who need wideband flexibility and efficient, lightweight performance across the Cband spectrum.
