Product Description
For professionals seeking an efficient, lightweight amplification solution across multiple frequency bands—from VHF/UHF communications and FPV video links to satellite communications, drone telemetry, and portable RF systems—this 5W GaN Broadband Power Amplifier Series delivers 37dBm (5W) of clean output power with 35dB gain across a suite of wideband options covering 100MHz all the way to 7200MHz. Leveraging advanced GaN (Gallium Nitride) technology for superior efficiency, linearity, and thermal performance, these amplifiers operate on a 22-28V DC supply with just 0.45A current draw at full output. Housed in compact aluminum enclosures with SMA-K connectors and built-in power control, they're engineered for professionals who need wideband flexibility and efficient power in a lightweight, portable form factor—eliminating the need for multiple narrowband amplifiers across different frequency segments.

Key Advantages
With 5W (37dBm) of clean GaN-powered output across seven bands from 100MHz to 7200MHz, this series delivers 3-5× the effective range of standard 1W transmitters while maintaining exceptional efficiency—ideal for portable and battery-powered applications where power consumption is a critical factor. The 35dB gain ensures consistent, predictable linearity even from low-power exciters, while the ultra-compact 120g design and efficient 0.45A current draw make it the perfect choice for drone mounting, handheld devices, and field-deployable systems.
Built-in remote power control via the 3-28V red wire allows dynamic output adjustment—perfect for real-time power management in drone operations, portable field kits, or battery-sensitive deployments. The wide 22-28V voltage tolerance ensures compatibility with 4S-6S LiPo batteries, vehicle electrical systems, and regulated power supplies, while SMA-K connectors enable plug-and-play integration with existing RF chains.
Seven precise frequency options mean you can select the exact band for your application—from VHF/UHF communications and amateur radio to 5G infrastructure, satellite uplinks, and emerging 6GHz Wi-Fi 6E/7 systems. Whether deployed in UAVs, portable ground stations, or field test kits, this series delivers the wideband flexibility and efficient power that lightweight, mobile applications demand.
