Advantech AMT has developed a product line of world’s
first Tri-Band Solid State Power Amplifiers (SSPA) for
the use in the earth terminals with X-Band military
satellites and C and Ku bands commercial satellites.
This amplifier is meant to operate in any of the
satellite communications bands of C, X and Ku. The
system contains C-, X-, Ku-Bands amplifier subassembly
of various power ranges, providing quick reaction
communications via satellite. Only one band is activated
at one time.
This product line takes advantage of the Advantech’s
industry proven reliable solid state power amplifiers.
Built-in design features and assembly methods,
incorporated with effective combining techniques result
in an amplifier with exceptional linearity and operating
efficiency. The use of the high efficiency power supply
and conservative thermal designs contributes to the
trouble free operation of the amplifier.
The Tri-Band SSPAs are used for operation via INTELSAT,
EUTELSAT, DFS and NATO satellites in an operational
military environment. The units are mounted on a mobile
antenna system, under severe outdoor conditions. The
Tri-Band SSPAs meet the appropriate telecommunication
agency specifications, i.e. additionally to regulations
of INTELSAT, EUTELSAT, DFS and NATO. The units can be
mounted on a trailer and transported via land, sea and
air.
Some of the highlights of the Advantech’s Tri-Band
SSPA product line are:
- microprocessor based Monitor & Control
- serial port interface (RS232) for remote
monitoring and control
- remote gain control adjustment
- redundancy operation without external controllers
(optional)
- ridged waveguide output connector
- temperature gain compensation
- automatic over-temperature shutdown
- infinite VSWR protection
- CE Marking
The operating frequency ranges are:(GHz)
- C-band - 5.85 to 6.65
- X-Band - 7.90 to 8.40
- Ku-Band - 13.75 to 14.50
