Bidirectional Amplifiers

RF Bidirectional Amplifiers (BDAs)

The NuPower Xtender™ series of solid state bidirectional amplifier (BDA) modules is ideal for extending the communication range of half-duplex transceivers. Leveraging the latest Gallium Nitride (GaN) technology and market-leading design miniaturization techniques, Xtender amplifiers are designed to meet the demanding needs of aerospace, defense and industrial markets. NuPower Xtender’s combination of power efficiency and miniature, ruggedized packaging makes them ideal for size, weight, and power-constrained (SWaP) broadband telemetry, ISR, and tactical communications systems.
