NUPOWER XTENDER C10RX01 OVERVIEW
The
NuPower
Xtender™
C10RX01
Bidirectional
C
‐
Band
Amplifier
module
is
a
small,
lightweight,
and
power
‐
efficient
bidirectional
amplifier
(BDA)
ideal
for
extending
the
communication
range
of
half
‐
duplex
transceivers
using
continuous
wave
(CW)
and
near
‐
constant
envelope
waveforms.
The
bidirectional
amplifier
generates
10
watts
(Psat)
from
4400
to
5100
MHz
in
transmit
mode
and
the
integrated
low
‐
noise
amplifier
provides
10
dB
of
gain
in
receive
mode.
Based
on
the
latest
Gallium
Nitride
(GaN)
technology,
the
NuPower
Xtender’s
high
‐
efficiency
and
4.6
in.
3
form
factor
make
it
ideal
for
SWaP
‐
constrained
applications.
In
addition,
the
NuPower
Xtender’s
broadband
frequency
coverage
supports
operational
flexibility.
NuPower
Xtender
bidirectional
amplifiers
are
designed
with
a
ruggedized
chassis
for
high
‐
reliability
in
harsh
environments.
