L- & S-Band RF Power Amplifier: NuPower 12B01A-03

L- & S-Band RF Power Amplifier: NuPower 12B01A-03 module accepts a nominal 0 dBm input drive level from the transmitter/transceiver and provides 40 dB of gain to generate at least 11 watts, and typically 15 watts, across the entire operating band. With a small form factor (3.9 cubic inches) and high efficiency operation (30% to 50%) based on state-of-the-art Gallium Nitride (GaN) power amplifier device technology, the NuPower L- & S-Band PA module is ideal for broadband RF telemetry and military communication systems that require reliability and minimal size, weight, and power consumption (SWaP). The NuPower 12B01A-03 module comes with an optional NW-PA-ACC-CB09MA interface cable, for ease of integration. This model is also available with a 1 watt input drive level (P/N: NW-PA-12B01A-03-D30), making it ideal for use with L3 Harris Communications’ Bandit miniature L-band transceiver

All NuPower PAs have an optional Micro-D connector with 18″ flying leads for interfacing to the unit. Available options for the PA include a +30 dBm / 1 W input drive level version (P/N: NW-PA-12B01A-D30), a fan-cooled heat sink, and an interface cable with banana plug terminations for lab testing.
