The S-Band Solid State Power Amplifier (SSPA): NuPower™ S-10-C01-S01 is built on a small form factor, being a highly efficient solid state power amplifier that provides 10 watts (typ) of RF power to boost performance of data links and transmitters. Based on the latest gallium nitride GaN technology, NuPower’s 30% – 50% power efficiency and 3.25 in³ form factor make it ideal for size, weight, and power-constrained broadband RF telemetry and tactical communication systems. The NuPower S10S01 power amplifier accepts a nominal -5 dBm RF input and provides over 44 dB of gain from 3.0 GHz to 4.0 GHz. The NuPower S10S01 module has an optional NW-PA-ACC-CB09MA interface cable, for ease of integration. NuPower PAs feature over-voltage and reverse-voltage protection and can operate over a wide temperature range of -30 °C to +60 °C.
