Advanced 100W GaN amplifier delivers 500-2500 MHz coverage for military counter-UAS systems.
Empower RF Systems announces the launch of its Model 1211 C-UAS RF amplifier module, a high-power solid-state amplifier designed specifically for counter-drone and military defense applications. This compact RF power amplifier delivers exceptional performance across critical frequency bands used in unmanned aerial system (UAS) countermeasures.
Key Features of the Model 1211 RF Power Amplifier
The Model 1211 counter-UAS amplifier operates across the 500 to 2500 MHz frequency range, providing a guaranteed minimum output power of 100 watts with typical performance reaching 125 watts. Leveraging advanced Class AB GaN on SiC (Gallium Nitride on Silicon Carbide) technology, this military-grade RF amplifier offers superior efficiency and thermal management for mission-critical drone defense systems.
Technical Specifications:
- Frequency Range: 500-2500 MHz (optimized for C-UAS operations)
- Output Power: 100W minimum, 125W typical
- Technology: Class AB GaN on SiC amplifier design
- Signal Compatibility: CW, AM, FM, and pulse modulation
- Dimensions: 7.0 x 4.0 x 1.1 inches
- Weight: 1.5 pounds (lightweight tactical design)
Complete Broadband Coverage for Electronic Warfare Applications
For comprehensive 20 to 6000 MHz spectrum coverage, the Model 1211 integrates seamlessly with Empower RF’s Model 1193 and Model 1212 amplifier modules. All three modules share identical form factors and a common digital control interface, enabling scalable RF power solutions for electronic warfare (EW) and counter-drone jamming systems.
