About

The TA1165 is a class AB Gallium Nitride (GaN) power amplifier module specifically designed and proven for reliable operation in Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite applications. This unit is capable of supporting any signal type and modulation format, including but not limited to DVB, DVB-DSNG, and DVB-S2. It is characterized by its efficiency, linearity, and lightweight design. The TA1165 has extensive flight heritage in low earth orbit, demonstrating its reliability and performance in space environments. While the product page also mentions the TA1120 as a small form factor, lightweight circuit card amplifier designed for CubeSat and NanoSat integration, the primary product described and specified is the TA1165.
