MINI MULTI-OCTAVE PA OVERVIEW
The NuPower
TM
ULS-25-C01-S01 Mini Multi-Octave Power Amplifier (MOPA) is a highly efficient, miniature
solid state power amplifier that provides over 7 watts (typical) of RF power across multiple octaves, from
high VHF through S-band.
Based on the latest gallium nitride (GaN) technology, the NuPower ULS-25-C01-S01’s power efficiency and
2.84 cubic inch form factor make it ideal for size, weight, and power-constrained broadband RF telemetry
and tactical communication systems.
The NuPower ULS-25-C01-S01’s rugged chassis allows the system integrator to easily incorporate the unit
into a platform operating in harsh environments with limited space, such as small Unmanned Aircraft
Systems (UAS).
