ERZIA's COTS RF Amplifiers: Transforming New Space Missions

ERZIA, a trailblazer in RF and microwave technology, has unveiled an innovative line of commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) RF microwave amplifiers, purpose-built for the New Space sector’s growing demands. This revolutionary launch represents a leap forward in space-grade hardware development, tailored for satellite manufacturers, SmallSat developers, and beyond.

Advancing Space Technology for New Horizons

At the core of ERZIA’s new portfolio are 13 amplifier models. They include High Power Amplifiers (HPAs) and Low Noise Amplifiers (LNAs), meticulously crafted to operate across an extensive frequency range. Their versatile application spans satellite communications, navigation systems, telemetry, and radar operations, catering to spacecraft in Low Earth Orbit (LEO), Medium Earth Orbit (MEO), and even reaching into cis-Lunar missions.

Engineering Excellence Amidst Orbital Extremes

What sets these amplifiers apart are their engineering triumphs over environmental challenges. Tested rigorously to withstand radiation up to 30 Krad and 32 MeV, they promise unwavering reliability in the harshest orbital conditions. Their vacuum-compatible housings and depressurization features are designed to combat rapid decompression, while low-outgassing materials enhance durability against the extremes of space.

Assuring Quality and Reliability

ERZIA takes quality assurance to an unprecedented level. Each unit undergoes acceptance testing at three temperature points, with additional optional screenings available. This rigorous validation echoes ERZIA’s dedication to furnishing dependable, flight-ready hardware for space missions, demonstrating their serious commitment to industry standards.

Strategic Vision and Market Integration

David Diez, ERZIA’s Managing Director, emphasizes the strategic foresight fueling this initiative: “The New Space market requires swift, economical solutions without sacrificing reliability or performance. Our COTS amplifier series is engineered from scratch to meet these vital demands, allowing customers to expedite their mission timelines whilst adhering to stringent quality criteria.”

European Microwave Week: A Platform for Innovation

Coinciding with their inaugural launch at European Microwave Week 2025 in Utrecht, ERZIA showcased three flagship models at booth #C84, introducing their groundbreaking capabilities to industry stakeholders and potential clients.

ERZIA’s pioneering product line consolidates its status as an RF hardware leader, addressing the New Space sector’s distinct challenges and nurturing the burgeoning ecosystem of commercial space missions worldwide. According to Bisinfotech, their contributions are pivotal in propelling New Space advancements to unprecedented heights.
