Ka Band High Gain Medium Power Amplifier: 26 -34 GHz
The CLT-KA04A-PA is a connectorised Ka-Band power amplifier providing greater than 23 dB of gain and 20 dBm saturated output power across the 26–34 GHz band. It extends Celtonn’s amplifier series into Ka-Band, addressing the growing demand for efficient, high-gain amplification in next-generation HTS payloads, Ka-Band ground terminals and feeder link systems operating across GEO, MEO and LEO orbits.
