The NW-PA-S-75-C01-S01 from NuWaves is a Linear Power Amplifier that operates from 2.2 to 2.5 GHz. It delivers an RF output power of 75 W and a gain of 18 dB (Tx) & 12 dB (Rx). This amplifier has bidirectional operation and switches between transmit and receive through a DC control input. It can also be configured for Autosense where it automatically switches between transmit and receive based on the RF input power detected at the XCVR Port. This linear amplifier has a T/R mode switching speed of 1 μs with auto-sensing or manual T/R line and an input VSWR of less than 2.0:1.
The NW-PA-S-75-C01-S01 is based on highly linear LDMOS technology and supports constant envelope signals such as CW, AM, and FM. It supports complex modulations with high peak-to-average ratios (PARs) requiring minimal signal distortion. This power amplifier requires a DC supply of 28 V and consumes 6.5 A of current. It is available in a module that measures 4.0 x 3.5 x 1.0 inches and has SMA connectors. This amplifier is ideal for Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) - Group 2 and Group 3, Unmanned Ground Vehicles (UGV), software-defined radios, Common Launch Tube (CLT), Air Launch Effect (ALE), Counter UAS detection and mitigation, MIMO/MANET radio range extension and SISO radio range extension applications.
