NuWaves’ industry-leading NuPower Xtender™ series of solid-state RF & microwave bidirectional amplifiers are designed to extend the operational range of radio applications, such as airborne and tactical military datalinks.
Intended to simplify subsystem architecture by providing both transmit and receive gain in a compact form factor, most modules can also be configured for ultra-fast autosense T/R detection and switching, making them plug-and-play range extenders for most systems applications.
Our miniature and ruggedized amplifier modules are built to last in harsh environments while offering superb power density and high operating efficiency, making them ideal for size, weight, and power (SWaP)-constrained applications for when size does matter. With a NuPower Xtender™ module, you are guaranteed best-in-class quality and performance proven through annual audits of our AS9100-certified Quality Management System and over 20 years’ experience serving customers in defense, commercial, and industry markets. Our broad catalog of commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) features amplifiers that provide as much as 25 W of RF output power covering frequencies up to 6 GHz.
