C-Band Rack-mount 150W to 1000W SSPA/SSPB

Overview

Advantech Wireless C-Band line of Amplifiers and BUCs are intended for satellite up-link applications. The design of these units is based on Advantech Wireless’ proven techniques resulting in high linearity and operating efficiency. Conservative thermal design contributes to the very high MTBF for these units. Full monitor and control is provided via the serial or Ethernet ports. Special features such as automatic over-temperature shutdown and high-reflected power and overdrive protection contribute to a trouble free operation.

The ARM-C series Rackmount SSPA/SSPB (BUC) is available in output power ranging from 16W to 1000W. Higher power operation may be provided using external phase combining techniques offering an output power up to 6,000W. Please contact factory for more details.

Advantech Wireless also offers the SUMMIT and SapphireBlu modular SSPA systems for either indoor or outdoor applications.

The full set of accessories made available will facilitate the integration of these units in any application.

Redundancy

Advantech Wireless C-Band line of Amplifiers and BUCs may be configured to operate in 1:1 or 1:2 redundancy mode. No extra controller is required for the redundancy operation as the built-in controller in each unit provides this function. For 1:1 redundancy operation, in addition to the two units (operating and standby) a special redundancy kit is required. For 1:2 redundancy operation another redundancy kit is needed in addition to the three units. The kits include the waveguide switches, terminations, splitter, interconnecting cable assemblies and mounting frames.

All redundancy systems are delivered fully tested.
