PA Module for Communications, Telemetry, and Electronic Warfare Markets
Middletown, Ohio, April 21, 2016 – NuWaves
Engineering, an international Radio Frequency (RF) and Microwave solutions provider, announced the upcoming release
of an upgraded broadband RF power amplifier (PA) for VHF to S-band transmitters and data radios, the NuPower™ 11B02A model,
featuring high power efficiency and multi-octave operation in a compact package.
The NuPower 11B02A model, part number NW-PA-11B02A, will replace the NuPower Mini Multi-Octave Power Amplifier model,
part number NW-SSPA-MINI-10W-0.225-2.6, delivering a minimum of 7 Watts, and typically 10 Watts, of RF power from 225 to
2600 MHz when driven with a 3 dBm (2 milliwatt) RF input signal. Featuring an improved standby to transmit switching speed
of less than 100 microseconds, the NuPower 12B01A allows the user to rapidly switch between the operating modes, conserving
energy between transmit cycles in power-limited applications such as unmanned aircraft systems (UAS). The PA's upgraded
rugged aluminum chassis, at 2.34" x 1.96" x 0.620" in size, maintains the footprint of the original, allowing for drop-in
compatibility between the two units. Further, the unit features a broad supply voltage range of +11 to +32 VDC, supporting
an array of RF communications, telemetry and electronic warfare applications, including systems running on battery power.
"Our second generation miniature broadband power amplifier module has been improved in several areas as a result of customer
feedback and NuWaves' innate desire to improve our processes," said Jeff Wells, President and CEO of NuWaves Engineering.
"The NuWaves' team has done an excellent job improving many aspects of the manufacturing process for this product, allowing
us to better support the Warfighter through shortened production schedules."
