 Redundancy
Kits
All of Advantech AMT's solid state amplifiers with microprocessor controller (ARMA and AWMA Series) can be configured for redundant 1:1 or 1:2 operations. No external controller is required. For redundancy operations, in addition to the amplifiers (operating and standby), a special redundancy kit is required. The kit includes the waveguide switches, terminations, RF splitter, waveguide arms and interconnecting cables. A mounting frame is also required, please see the product list for more details. Access for full remote monitoring and control of the system is provided via the serial communication port. Redundant Systems 1:1 For 1:1 operations, two redundant ready amplifiers (ARMA and AWMA Series), one active and one standby, plus a 1:1 redundancy kit and a frame are required. The standard 1:1 redundant SSPA systems are configured to operate in the hot standby mode. The kit includes an input coaxial splitter. Redundant Systems 1:2 For 1:2 operations, three redundant ready amplifiers (ARMA and AWMA Series), two active and one standby, and a 1:2 redundancy kit and a frame are required. The standby amplifier will automatically replace a failed amplifier. Switch-over will not occur to a defective or missing amplifier. |
