Tuesday, December 06, 2011 by AR Modular RF

AR Modular RF has received additional JITC Certification on the AR-50 booster amplifier for the PRC-117G radio. The market leading 50W, automatic tuning, multi-band tactical booster amplifier (30 - 512MHz) has certification for use with both the PSC-5D and the PRC-117G transceivers.

The AR-50 booster amplifier boosts tactical radio signals from handheld and back-pack multi-band VHF / UHF tactical radio equipment employing legacy, proprietary and emerging JTRS waveforms.

It provides 50W of output with as little as 3W input and offers two antenna ports dedicated to line-of-sight (LOS) or UHF Satellite (SATCOM). The system also provides a switchable low-noise amplifier (LNA) and a multi-position RF output level control. The small, compact, lightweight unit can run from either battery power or 12v or 24v vehicle power systems.
