Nautel is a global leader in the design, manufacture, sales and support of high power Radio Frequency (“RF”) products for AM and FM broadcast, navigation, industrial and space-based applications. Nautel continues to lead the way in providing valuable new solutions for RF markets worldwide, including a new state-of-the-art amplifier for audio frequencies. This high power audio frequency amplifier technology is a robust, solid state system designed specifically for difficult industrial and military environments and operates at near 96% efficiency.
Ad Astra Rocket Company approached Nautel in 2007 to develop a radio-frequency amplifier to be used in a plasma rocket propulsion system. Utilizing high efficiency solid state RF generators made by Nautel, Ad Astra’s VASIMR VX-200 rocket project achieved a highly-coveted new power milestone of 200 kW maximum power in September, 2009. Originally studied by NASA, this technology is expected to revolutionize space travel, greatly reducing the operational costs of space exploration and shortening transit times for missions to Mars. Nautel continues to play a key role in its development.
