Overview

The ARMA-2000S series are the rack-mount solid-state power amplifiers (SSPAs), operating in S-Band frequency range. The amplifier is an integrated unit, complete with power supply and cooling system. Intended for indoor operation, the amplifiers are of compact size and occupy four rack-mounting spaces (4 RU – 7‰”) of a standard 19-inch rack. Built-in microprocessor controller provides capability for serial port interfaces (RS485) for remote monitoring and control. Advantech‰’s SSPAs set the industry standard for linearity and operating efficiency. Built-in design features and assembly methods incorporated with efficient combining techniques result in the trouble-free operation of the amplifier.

Features

• High gain and linearity
• Output power up to 250W
• Gain adjustment (Local & Remote)
• Remote Monitor & Control (Local & Remote)
• Output sample monitor port
• Temperature gain compensation
• Automatic over-temperature shutdown
• Automatic high reflected power shutdown
• Infinite VSWR protection
• Power factor correction
• CE Marking

Application

The featured SSPAs are designed for S-Band satellite up-link applications. They are designed for 19-inch rack mounting in a protected environment. The ARMA-2000S series are available in output power from 50W to 1000W. For higher power Advantech provides phase-combined systems. Other SSPAs are available for operation at other satellite frequency bands. With all the features of the ARMA-2000S, Advantech also offers a built-in converter.

Redundancy

With the addition of the appropriate waveguide and switch kit, the ARMA-2000S amplifiers can be easily converted for the operation in 1:1 redundant configuration without the use of any external controller. Full remote Monitor and Control of the redundant system is accessible via the serial port (RS-485).

Options

• 1:1 or 1:2 Redundant configuration
• Phase combined systems for higher power
• L-Band input (SSPB/BUC operation)
• SNMP interface

Accessories

• Mounting slides
• Remote M&C panel
