Amplify Ku-band signals for satellite uplinks with unprecedented signal quality and efficiency.

Solid-state amplifiers outperform competing technologies. Traveling wave tubes have a significantly longer boot time and, since the tube is an inherent a single point of failure, an unpredictable lifespan. Rohde & Schwarz uses innovative, in-house amplifier technology to raise performance expectations. It is redefining how adaptive linearization improves signal fidelity and amplifier performance. This adaptive linearization works with both L-band or Ku-band input signals.
