Redefining E-band power for space & military applications

In terms of performance, our high-power amplifier sets a new standard for E-band power in both commercial and military applications. The E-band frequency range, spanning from 60 GHz to 90 GHz, is critical for high-frequency communication systems. Our advanced Taurus power amplifier not only excels in this frequency range but also achieves unprecedented efficiency and output.

The Taurus power amplifier ingeniously integrates the capabilities of two Cerus amplifiers, effectively doubling the available output power. This innovative design results in superior signal strength and quality, ensuring reliable performance in the most demanding environments. By leveraging the combined power of the Cerus amplifiers, the Taurus amplifier delivers exceptional linearity and efficiency, making it the ideal solution for applications requiring high power and precision.

Whether for high-speed data transmission or secure military communications, the Taurus power amplifier’s robust performance and enhanced power output redefine the possibilities within the E-band spectrum. Its cutting-edge technology and superior design ensure that it meets the rigorous demands of modern communication systems, providing a significant advantage over traditional amplifiers.

The solution

• Available in single to N-way configurations.
• Delivers unparalleled performance for long range E-Band communications.
• Saturated powers up to >+39dBm

The result

• Part of the world’s first commercial E-Band earth station antenna, which is opening up 5G performance and latency to the Satcom market.
• Taurus amplifiers efficiently combine the power of two Cerus amplifiers, almost doubling the available output power.
• Taurus can be applied for long range, high capacity terrestrial and non-terrestrial communications links.
• Low SWaP – suitable for airborne & HAPs applications.

The challenge

• How do you push the boundaries not iteratively but create a step change for SSPAs.
• COTS Solid State Power Amplifier at E-band was not available commercially for LEO applications.
• High power/linearity requirements, for the ground station to satellite links.
