Dual-Purpose, High-Power Military Booster Amplifier For SINCGARS Only
Now Available From AR Modular RF

Bothell, WA - 5/15/06 - AR Modular RF has added a new SINCGARS-only version of the well-known KMW1030 booster amplifier. The model KMW1032HP is a dual-purpose, high-power version of basic SINCGARS-only model, which was introduced as part of a complete line of KMW1030 booster amplifiers for military tactical radios. The new, dual-purpose model can be used as a 20 watt manpack unit; it can also be vehicle-mounted using RF vehicle cable that boosts its output power to 40 watts.

The KMW1032HP SINCGARS-compatible unit is a portable, lightweight, waterproof, fully automatic band-switching RF booster amplifier. It covers the 30 – 108 MHz frequency band using filters to assure acceptable harmonic distortion levels. It includes voltage spike suppression, RF sensing, T/R switching, automatic level control, automatically switched harmonic filters, and protection against antenna mismatch and over-temperature. The unit can be operated from two BA5590 batteries or vehicle power.

The KMW10302HP is part of a complete family of booster amplifiers designed for man-pack or vehicle-mount use. Based on one common, battle-tested platform, the KMW1030 family of multi-band booster amplifiers includes automatic and manual band-switch models with frequency ranges from 30 – 512 MHz and the ability to boost output signals from 5 watts up to 20 or 40 watts.
