Custom Solutions Starts with Your Application

If a custom solution is needed, we believe the best outcomes start with the operating profile.

If a battery or power solution is required, Ultralife engineers evaluate application requirements including voltage, current demand, pulse loads, runtime, space constraints, operating conditions, safety, regulatory compliance, and lifecycle expectations. These factors guide selection of the optimal battery configuration, capacity, performance characteristics, certifications, cost, and availability.

From there, the design can be optimized around:

  • Lithium chemistry selection
  • Cell format and configuration
  • Series and parallel pack architecture
  • Welded or soldered interconnects for continuity reliability
  • Protection electronics and safety devices
  • Mechanical packaging, connectors, and sealing
  • Charger, docking, or power supply integration
  • Communications and electronics system compatibility
  • Compliance, certification, and transport requirements

A-2303 20 WATT, 30-512 MHZ MULTIBAND AMPLIFIER, DISMOUNTED.

The A-2303 is the latest amplifier in Ultralife’s long and successful history of RF amplifier development.A-2303

The A-2303 amplifier continues the RF sensing technology we were first to develop over 20 years ago. All necessary radio interfacing is accomplished via a single RF cable. From here the amplifier then automatically performs all necessary detection and classification to provide a faithful reproduction of the radio RF with the desired amplification. The A-2303 is compatible with legacy waveforms as well as many modern proprietary and military waveforms.

Optimized for use with low power PRR radios, delivering 20 watts with ~.75 watt of RF drive power.

Remote On/Off control.

Power for the optional active cooling module is provided on the bottom of the amplifier for seamless integration.
