NuWaves Engineering is a leading supplier of Radio Frequency (RF) and Microwave equipment. We have over a decade of RF engineering experience with a wide range of military, industrial and commercial clients.
RF communication is essential to the operation of Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS), providing the link between the vehicle and the crew on the ground. We excel in producing RF modules and subsystems that provide a robust communications link while still minimizing size, weight and power consumption.
Power Amplifiers
Our Power Amplifiers utilise the latest Gallium Nitride technology and miniaturization techniques, providing a ruggedized power-efficient package that is ideal for unmanned systems.
NuPower™ C20R01 C-Band Power Amplifier
The NuPower™ C20R01 C-Band Power Amplifier is a small, high performance, broadband solid-state power amplifier that provides over 20 watts of RF power to boost performance of data links and transmitters
The unit accepts a nominal 0 dBm (1 mW) RF input and provides 40 dB of gain from 4.4 GHz to 4.9 GHz for continuous wave (CW) and near-constant envelope waveforms. The Small Form Factor (4.50” x 3.50” x 0.61”) makes this an ideal choice for space-constrained UAS and UGV applications.
The NuPower™ 05E05A S-Band Power Amplifier is a small, ultra-high-efficiency solid-state power amplifier that delivers 30 watts of RF power from 2.0 to 2.6 GHz.
The unit is capable of boosting signal power levels of data links and transmitters and provides a compelling option for size, weight and power (SWaP) constrained RF telemetry and military communication systems given its 9.6 cubic inch, 9 ounce enclosure and 40% DC power efficiency.
NuPower™ 13G05A L-Band Solid State Power Amplifier
The NuPower™ 13G05A L-Band Power Amplifier is a small, highly efficient solid-state power amplifier capable of boosting the performance of data links and transmitters. The module delivers 35 watts of RF power across the broad frequency range of 800 MHz to 2 GHz and accepts a 0 dBm input drive level.
The NuPower 11C01A Multi-Octave Power Amplifier delivers 15 watts of power (typical) across an extremely broad frequency band of 225 MHz to 2.4 GHz. The unit is well-suited to broadband RF telemetry and tactical communication systems that require high reliability and high efficiency in a very compact housing (3.9 cubic inch).
