Paradise Datacom Mini Compact Outdoor SSPA

Posted on by
The Paradise Datacom Mini Compact Outdoor Solid State Power Amplifier (SSPA) is built for extreme environmental conditions and high reliability operation. Along with the robust construction exists the highest power density in the industry.

This allows solid state technology to be used in applications that have long been reserved for TWTAs.

At less than 23 lbs. (10.5 kg), and only slightly larger than a lunch box, this family of SSPAs is available in output power levels in the following range:

C-Band: 75W, 100W
X-Band: 50W, 75W, 100W, 175W
Ku-Band: 50W, 80W

Paradise Datacom offers an Outdoor Fiber Optic Converter Module (OFM-1000) for the Mini Compact Outdoor SSPA which interfaces with a rack mountable Fiber Optic to L Band Transceiver (RCPF-1000).

Xicom XTRS-400X-B1 X-Band SSPA with Block Upconverter

Posted on by
The Xicom XTRS-400X-B1 is a highly efficient rackmountable solid state power amplifier (SSPA) designed for fixed and mobile uplink applications.

RF filters, isolators, cooling, and monitor and control (M&C) systems are all self-contained within the package.

Rack space is conserved because the amplifiers occupy only 7 rack units (12.25 inches) of a standard 19 inch rack cabinet. Nominal weight is 140 pounds.

The unit features a menu driven front panel display, RS-232/422/485 serial port and Ethernet interfaces for complete computer control. Forward power, reverse power and temperature, and default parameters are easily monitored on the four line front panel display.

Gain control is provided via the front panel or through the remote interfaces.

A high frequency resonant conversion power supply is used that accepts a wide range of prime power (90 to 264 VAC). Power factor correction circuitry is also included which minimizes line current distortion and reduces the required Volt- Amps input.

The amplifier includes an integrated L-Band Block Upconverter that interfaces to standard modems operating in the 950-1450 MHz range. The L-Band transmit signal and 10 MHz reference are brought to the unit over a single coaxial line.

Depending upon user requirements, this high power amplifier can be configured for single thread, redundant, or phase combined configurations.
