The NuPower C10R01 from NuWaves Engineering is a GaN SSPA that operates from 5100 to 5900 MHz. It delivers a saturated output power of 10 W with a small signal gain of 54 dB and has a VSWR of 2:1. This GaN-based power amplifier provides near-constant envelope waveforms and has an 'improved' link margin. It requires a DC voltage of 27-32 V and consumes 1.6 A of current. The amplifier is available in a module that measures 3.57 x 2.57 x 0.50 inches with SMA-Female connectors and features over-voltage protection. It is ideal for use in SWaP-constrained broadband RF telemetry, tactical communication systems, and electronic warfare systems.
The amplifier is listed under the US EAR99 Export Category.
