TECHNIWAVE develops a wide range of high performance Satcom products (block-up converter, solid state amplifiers, etc.)

TECHNIWAVE manufactures converters including IF block amplification, synthesized source, multiband frequency converters and PA amplifier for commercial and military markets. This line of upconverters covers Ku, Ka and soon the Q frequency communication band. Indoor rack or rugged outdoor antenna mounted units are available. IF bandwidths ranging from 850 MHz to 2.15 GHz could be supported depending on system requirements. SSPAs based on the latest galium nitride (GaN) technology offer the best combination of high peak powers, high reliability, high efficiency and soft degradation.
