5000 MHz, 10 W Power Amplifier
The TA4002R utilizes the lastest GaN technology to provide 10 W of power in the C-1 and C-2 bands. The unit is designed to be integrated in any system that requires high-power, high efficiency and high linearity in the entire 4400 to 5000 MHz band. The amplifier provides 23 dB of small signal gain and can produce over 2 W of 64-QAM OFDM power. The compact unit measures only 2.73 in. × 2.53 in. × 1.31 in. and maintains a low operating temperature due to its built-in heat sink.

Micro-Transcoder™ GPS Modulator
Jackson Labs Technologies Inc.’s Micro-Transcoder™ is by a large margin the world’s smallest, full-constellation, stand-alone, real-time 10-channel GPS simulator. The Micro-Transcoder™ achieves hardening of the customers’ GPS equipment by splicing the unit in-between the existing antenna and the users’ GPS receiver and taking the output of any secure PNT source such as INS, SAASM, M-code, Iridium STL or concurrent GNSS receiver and encoding (RF modulating) the baseband PNT and UTC timing information into a standard GPS L1 RF signal.
