Tri-Band Bidirectional Amplifier: NuPower Xtender™ SCISR-20

Source: NuWaves RF Solutions

The NuPower Xtender™ SCISR-20 is a tri-band bidirectional amplifier intended to simplify subsystem architecture with a compact form-factor to provide in-band and cross-band bidirectional communication for improved link margin. The 20-Watt amplifier is ideal for use in unmanned aircraft systems, small to medium sized aircraft, and airborne datalinks, and more.

The Xtender™ SCISR-20 amplifier features auto-sense T/R capabilities with a 2-μs switching speed that automatically detects whether it is in transmit or receive mode in each channel, independent of the operational modes of the other channels. It supports secure CDL ISR (SCISR) software-defined radio communications as an easy-to-integrate addition to any ground or airborne terminal. It can also be used in any application requiring amplification in L-, S-, and C-band frequencies.
