Booster HL
AvailableAsk
Booster HL is an 8-channel RF power amplifier delivering several watts across 100–500 MHz, housed in a compact 19” 2U chassis. It features very low signal distortion (THD), remote monitoring, and configurable interlocks via an Ethernet interface. The modular design allows field-replaceable channels, making Booster HL ideal for advanced RF applications requiring high linearity and precise control.
