Overview

The ARMA-5000X series are the rack-mount solid-state power amplifiers (SSPAs), operating in X-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 nine rack-mounting spaces (9 RU – 15) 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 1000W (see table A)
• 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 X-Band satellite up-link applications. They are designed for 19-inch rack mounting in a protected environment. The ARMA-5000X series are available in output power from 20W 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-5000X, Advantech also offers a built-in converter.

Redundancy

With the addition of the appropriate waveguide and switch kit, the ARMA-5000X amplifiers can be easily converted for the operation in 1:1 redundant configuration with full remote monitor and control capability of the redundant system via serial interface.
