HPA-1000W: 1000W Broadband RF Power Amplifier, 20-500 MHz / 500-1000 MHz, 8U Rack-Mounted, Fully Customizable
We are pleased to introduce the HPA-1000W, our newly developed 1000W broadband solid-state RF power amplifier, a rack-ready platform built around the two most requested frequency windows in industrial, laboratory and test-house RF work: 20-500 MHz and 500-1000 MHz. The system delivers a full 1000 watts of RF output inside an 8U rack-mounted chassis, combining high power density with the stability and serviceability professional users expect from solid-state designs.
Unlike narrowband amplifiers that force users to stack units, it covers each band continuously, so one instrument drives broadband EMC testing, component characterisation, plasma generation and industrial heating without any hardware change. It is built on wideband RF power devices in a rugged push-pull topology and protected by VSWR, over-temperature, over-current and reflected-power safeguards that keep the unit safe even into severe load mismatch.
Key Highlights
- 1000W RF output power in a single continuous-band solid-state amplifier
- Two standard frequency ranges: 20-500 MHz and 500-1000 MHz
- 8U rack-mounted chassis with front-to-rear forced-air cooling for 19-inch cabinets
- 50 ohm input and output, with N-type or 7/16 DIN connectors on request
- Comprehensive protection: over-temperature, over-current, VSWR and reflected-power fold-back
- Local front-panel control plus full remote control over a standard RJ-45 Ethernet port (RS-485 optional)
- Frequency range and output power fully customizable to match your exact application

Why an 8U Rack-Mounted Design Matters
High power need not mean a bench full of separate boxes. The 8U rack-mounted enclosure integrates the RF chain, power supply, cooling and control electronics into one standard 19-inch chassis, which simplifies installation in test chambers, shielded rooms, system cabinets and mobile test vehicles. Front-to-rear airflow keeps module temperatures stable during long test sequences, while the modular layout allows fast access for servicing.
Fully Customizable Frequency and Power
Because every RF application has its own band plan and power budget, the platform is offered with full customization. Customers can define the frequency range, the output power level, the gain flatness window, connector type, control protocol (RJ-45 Ethernet, RS-485 or others), monitoring signals and cooling configuration. Mechanical dimensions and rack height can also be adapted where cabinet space is limited. Our engineers support OEM and ODM projects from specification review and prototype build through to batch production and after-sales.
Software Control over RJ-45 Ethernet
Every function can also be operated remotely through the standard RJ-45 Ethernet port. The embedded control software lets operators set frequency and power, switch the unit on or off, and read live forward and reflected power, gain, temperature and VSWR from one dashboard. Alarm thresholds, fault logs and protection events are recorded and exported for test reports, and several amplifiers can be addressed from one workstation — practical in multi-chamber laboratories and automated test benches. RS-485 remains available on request.
Typical Applications
The combination of 1000W output, continuous band coverage and a standard 8U rack format suits both laboratory benches and production floors. Scenarios are summarised below.
| Application Scenario | How the Amplifier Is Used |
|---|---|
| EMC / EMI immunity testing | Drives antennas and field generators in anechoic chambers and shielded rooms for radiated immunity pre-compliance and certification testing, including IEC 61000-4-3 style field generation and automotive component testing. |
| RF component and material characterisation | Serves as the high-power source for cable, connector, filter, coupler and antenna measurements, and for dielectric and loss studies of substrates. |
| Plasma generation and semiconductor process | Powers plasma cleaning, etching, sputtering, PECVD and thin-film deposition chambers, where stable continuous-wave output and low ripple directly affect process uniformity. |
| Industrial RF heating, drying and sealing | Used in dielectric drying of textiles, paper, wood and food, plus preheating, curing, sealing and welding processes needing deep, uniform energy penetration. |
| Communications and broadcast R&D | Validates base station, repeater, broadcast transmitter and antenna subsystems under realistic high-power conditions, supporting linearity and ruggedness evaluation. |
| Radar and defence system integration | Provides bench-level high-power drive for T/R module verification, subsystem integration and spectrum studies in shielded integration halls. |
| Scientific research and education | Supports accelerator RF systems, plasma physics experiments, material science studies and university laboratories needing a reliable broadband high-power source. |
| Medical and analytical instrumentation | Applied in RF ablation research, plasma medicine studies and mass spectrometry ion source development, where repeatable output and fast protection are essential. |
