RigExpert 915MPA Bidirectional Power Amplifier

RigExpert 915MPA is a compact bidirectional power amplifier covering 902–928 MHz, with approximately 15 dB transmit gain, 20 dB receive gain, +35 dBm typical CW output and nominal 5V operation for compatible UAV, SDR, amateur-radio, IoT and laboratory systems.

RigExpert 915MPA Bidirectional Power Amplifier provides transmit and receive amplification across 902–928 MHz for compatible low-voltage radio systems. It combines approximately 15 dB transmit gain with 20 dB receive gain and operates from a nominal 5 V supply. The compact module supports integration into UAV control equipment, SDR systems, amateur-radio projects, IoT devices and laboratory installations.

Transmit Performance at 915 MHz

The RigExpert 915MPA published electrical specification gives a typical continuous-wave output of +35 dBm with +20 dBm RF input at 916 MHz. This corresponds to approximately 3.2 W of RF output. Typical pulse output is +35.5 dBm under the same stated input and frequency conditions. These figures describe defined test points rather than guaranteed performance at every frequency, supply voltage or installation condition.

Receive Gain and Input Limits

The receive path provides approximately 20 dB gain, with up to 22 dB listed in the electrical specification. The maximum receive input level is −13 dBm, while the published transmit input range is +6 to +21 dBm, with +20 dBm typical. Confirm the connected radio’s output and the intended signal path before installation. The manufacturer’s technical information notes that transmit input requirements can be adjusted by changing the input attenuator.

Low-Voltage System Integration

RigExpert 915MPA has a recommended supply range of 4.75–5.25 V DC. Its separate 5.5 V absolute maximum is a limit, not a normal operating setting. Published consumption is 9.8 W in CW transmit operation at +35 dBm output and 0.44 W in receive mode. Provide an appropriately rated supply and account for heat dissipation, secure mounting and suitable RF connections when integrating the module into a complete system.
