The NuPower™ KU-20-C01-S01 is a small connectorized solid-state power amplifier that delivers over 20 watts of RF power to extend the operational range of data links and transmitters.

The NuPower KU-20-C01-S01 accepts a nominal +10 dBm RF input and provides 43 dB of power gain from 14.5 GHz to 15.5 GHz for continuous wave (CW) and near-constant envelope waveforms. Based on the latest gallium nitride (GaN) technology, the power and form factor of the NuPower KU-20-C01-S01 make it ideal for size, weight, and power-constrained RF telemetry, tactical communication systems, and electronic warfare systems. NuPower PAs feature over-voltage protection and can operate over a wide temperature range of-40 °C to +85 °C (baseplate).
