Product Overview

The HS-PA series is a high-efficiency GaN (Gallium Nitride) hybrid power amplifier family designed for satellite communication and broadband radio systems. The product lineup consists of 12 models, covering full frequency bands from UHF to C-Band (300 MHz to 6000 MHz), with each model supporting a continuous 500 MHz sub-band.

Engineered for harsh operating conditions of satellite-ground links, airborne and ship-borne RF frontends, the HS-PA series delivers stable performance, high integration and wide compatibility. It serves as a high-power signal amplification solution for professional satellite communication and RF testing scenarios.

Core Features	Engineering Advantages (Satellite System Perspective)
≥100 W Saturation Output Power (Psat)	Meets EIRP budget requirements for VSAT uplink channels, provides sufficient fade margin to ensure stable long-distance satellite-ground transmission.
50 dB Typical Gain, ≤3 dBm Drive Level	Directly driven by intermediate frequency upconverters or low-power modems, simplifying RF chain architecture and reducing system integration costs.
GaN Final Stage, PAE ≥30%	High power efficiency significantly reduces heat dissipation, ideal for space-constrained and power-limited portable, airborne and ship-borne platforms.
4-Way Protection Mechanism	Automatic shutdown triggered by over-temperature, over-voltage, over-current and VSWR mismatch, supporting 24/7 unattended operation.
Industrial Temperature Range: -20°C ~ +85°C	Fully adaptable to outdoor earth stations, vehicle-mounted SATCOM-on-the-move and UAV external cabin deployment.
Spurious Emission ≥65 dBc, 2Fo ≥-12 dBc	Complies with standard satellite communication emission masks, ensuring high spectral purity and no interference to adjacent satellite channels.
Plug-and-Play Tray Structure	Standard 7W2 power & control interface enables fast system integration, equipment replacement and convenient maintenance.
