Booster HE
Booster is an 8-channel RF power amplifier delivering several watts of output power in the 100–500 MHz range, housed in a compact 19” 2U chassis. It features remote control, monitoring, and protection via a flexible Ethernet interface.
Available in High Efficiency (HE) and High Linearity (HL) versions, the HE variant is optimized for low cost and power consumption, while the HL version provides very low signal distortion (THD). The system offers modular, field-replaceable channels, configurable interlocks, and comprehensive per-channel monitoring, making it well suited for advanced RF applications.
