| The Xicom XTD-400DBL series are compact selfcontained antenna mountable power amplifiers designed for low cost installation and long life. |
|
The XTD-400DBL series design eliminates the need for an amplifier shelter as well as a long waveguide run between the amplifier and the antenna feed horn; for example, an antenna mounted 350 Watt amplifier with its shorter waveguide run will often deliver EIRP comparable to a 600 Watt rack mounted HPA. RF filters, cooling, and monitoring & control systems are all selfcontained within the HPA. These features provide high reliability, low maintenance costs, and low replacement costs.
The XTD-400DBL series incorporates high efficiency, dualstage collector TWTs. Some of the benefits of this type of TWT are: reduced prime power consumption, lower internal operating temperatures, and reliability enhancement. These benefits are obtained for both the linear and saturated modes of operation. One of the features of the XTD-400DBL series is incorporation of power factor correction circuitry that minimizes line current distortion and reduces the required voltamps. The combination of power factor correction and high efficiency TWTs reduces input VoltAmps by 45% when compared to equivalent amplifiers. A high frequency resonant conversion power supply is used that accepts a wide range of prime power (100 to 260 VAC). The automatic features of the power supply include quick recovery from prime power outages and multiple helix fault resets (three fault cycles).
A complete monitoring & control system is built into the unit. Ten status and fault monitors are provided for external monitoring.
The XTD-400DBL series can be configured for single thread, redundant, phase combined, or linearized operation.
A remote external controller is available to operate the HPA from a user selected location. Mounting brackets can be supplied to mount the HPA to most popular antennas.

The Xicom XTRD-270DBS is a highly efficient rack mountable traveling wave tube amplifier (TWTA) designed for fixed and mobile uplink applications. |
The unit includes RF gain control, a solid-state pre-amplifier, RF filters, cooling, and monitor and control (M&C) systems.
Rack space is conserved because the amplifier occupies only 3 rack units (5¼ inches) of a standard 19 inch rack cabinet. Nominal weight is 50 pounds.
The unit features a menu driven front panel display and RS-232/422/485 serial port interfaces for complete computer control. RF, traveling wave tube, and default parameters are easily monitored on the four line front panel display.
Gain control is provided via the front panel or through the serial interface.
The XTRD-270DBS incorporates high efficiency, dual stage collector TWTs. Reliability is enhanced because both prime power consumption and internal operating temperatures are reduced for both the linear and saturated modes of operation.
The XTRD-270DBS incorporates power factor correction circuitry, which minimizes line current distortion and reduces the required Volt-Amps input.

The Xicom XTD750DBS1 are compact self-contained, antenna mountable power amplifiers designed for low cost installation and long life.
|
The design eliminates the need for an amplifier shelter as well as a long waveguide run between the amplifier and the antenna feed horn. RF harmonic filters, cooling, and monitoring & control systems are all selfcontained within the HPA. These features provide high reliability, low maintenance costs, and low replacement costs.
The amplifier incorporates high efficiency multistage collector TWTs. Some of the benefits of this type of TWT are: reduced prime power consumption, lower internal operating temperatures, and reliability enhancement. These benefits are obtained for both the linear and saturated modes of operation.
One of the features of the XTD750DBS1 is incorporation of power factor correction and reduces the required voltamps. The combination of power factor correction and high efficiency TWTs reduces input VoltAmps by 45% when compared to equivalent amplifiers. A high frequency resonant conversion power supply that is used accepts a wide range of prime power (180 to 260 VAC). The automatic features of the power supply include quick recovery from prime power outages and multiple helix fault resets (three fault cycles).
A complete serial monitoring and control system is built into the unit.
The XTD-750DBS1 may be configured for single thread, redundant or phasecombined operation. It can be configured to control one or two switches.
An optional linearizer is available to allow increased transmit power while meeting spectral regrowth requirements.
A remote external controller is available to operate the HPA from user selected location. Mounting brackets can be supplied to mount the HPA to most popular antennas.

These high efficiency traveling wave tube amplifiers include RF gain control, a solid state pre-amplifier, RF filters, cooling, and monitor & control (M&C) systems. An integrated X-Band linearizer is available.
The dual-drawer amplifier conserves rack space and occupies only 19.25 inches (11 rack units) of a standard 19 inch rack cabinet. A complete 1:1 or 1:2 redundant TWTA system, including a redundant controller, can be mounted in a single rack.
The unit features a menu-driven front panel display and RS-232 & RS-422/RS-485 serial port interfaces for complete remote control.
Gain control is set by the front panel manual control or by computer commands sent via the remote interface(s).
The units incorporate high efficiency, multi-stage depressed collector TWTs. Reliability is enhanced because both prime power consumption and internal operating temperatures are reduced for the linear and saturated modes of operation.

RF filters, cooling, and monitor & control (M&C) systems are all self contained within the package.
A high frequency resonant conversion power supply is used that accepts a wide range of prime power (100 to 260 VAC).
A remote external controller is available to operate the HPA from a user selected location. Depending upon user requirements, these high power amplifiers can be configured for single thread, redundant, or phase combined configurations.
