Sebagai komunikasi UAV, jaringan LTE pribadi, dan sistem broadband L-band terus berkembang, itu 1.4 Pita frekuensi GHz (1428–1468 MHz) has become increasingly important for reliable wireless links.

Systems operating in this band often adopt TDD (Dupleks Pembagian Waktu) dan OFDM modulation, both of which impose strict requirements on RF front-end performance—especially power amplifiers.

Dalam artikel ini, we introduce a high-performance 2T2R Bi-Directional Power Amplifier (BDA) designed specifically for these demanding applications.

Here is a client inquiry

I am looking for a Bi-Directional Power Amplifier (BDA) compatible with a 1.4 GHz broadband system that utilizes OFDM modulation and TDD (Dupleks Pembagian Waktu). To ensure optimal performance, could you please specify the P1dB and Linear Output Power at 1.4 GHz, the RX/TX switching speed in microseconds, and the Noise Figure (tidak) of the RX path? Selain itu, I would like to know the typical current consumption at maximum output, the required supply voltage, and whether the thermal design is suitable for passive cooling on a mobile UAV platform. My device is 1428-1468 mhz range. My device has two antenna out 10watts. How to use an on/off switch? Only connect ext. PA connection right Do you have a 2T2R device amplifier.
