Product Description
For FPV pilots, drone operators, and wireless professionals who refuse to accept any compromise in range and video quality, 5.8GHz remains the global standard for high-bandwidth video transmission. This 5.8GHz 50W RF Power Amplifier represents the absolute pinnacle of portable amplification—delivering an extraordinary 47dBm (50W) of clean output power with 40dB gain across the full 5.725-5.85GHz ISM band, covering all standard FPV channels including Raceband, E band, F band, and more. Leveraging advanced GaN (Gallium Nitride) technology for superior efficiency and thermal performance, it operates on a 28V DC supply with just 3.6A current draw at full output. Housed in a rugged aluminum enclosure with SMA female connectors, it's engineered for those who demand the absolute ultimate in video link performance—where every extra watt translates directly to range and reliability.

Key Advantages
50W of GaN-powered output represents the absolute pinnacle of 5.8GHz FPV amplification. The 5.8GHz band delivers exceptional bandwidth for HD video, but its higher frequency comes with inherent path loss—making extreme power essential for record-setting range and reliable penetration through trees, buildings, and other obstacles. With 50W (47dBm) of clean output power, this amplifier provides up to 6-10x the effective range of standard 1W VTX systems—the highest power available in this series and the ultimate solution for pilots chasing world records or operating in the most demanding RF environments.
Advanced GaN technology delivers higher efficiency, better thermal performance, and greater power density than conventional designs. The result is 50W of clean output in a package that weighs just 210g—an extraordinary power-to-weight ratio that sets a new benchmark for portable high-power video amplification.
The 40dB gain transforms low-power VTX outputs (as low as 10mW) into full 50W transmission with consistent, predictable linearity. Current draw remains efficient at just 3.6A—allowing you to achieve the ultimate range without prematurely draining your drone's battery.
Thermal performance is engineered for sustained operation at the highest power levels. The rugged aluminum housing provides efficient passive cooling, while the 132×53×17mm form factor and 210g weight offer improved thermal dissipation for reliable 50W continuous transmission—making it ideal for both drone mounting and ground station use.
Optimized for the full 5.725-5.85GHz ISM band, this amplifier covers all standard FPV channels including Raceband, E band, F band, and more. When maximum power is the only option, 50W delivers the ultimate performance for those who refuse to compromise on range and reliability.
