Advantech Wireless has introduced their Second Generation of Gallium Nitride (GaN) Technology based 125 W to 200 W Ka-Band Ultra-Linear Solid State Power Amplifier / Block Up-converter (SSPA/BUC) products. The new SSPB-4010Ka series follows Advantech’s successful 100 W Ka-Band GaN-based units, adopted by several military organizations.
The new Ultra-Linear GaN based SSPAs are designed to operate in harsh outdoor environments and have been designed for Ka-Band LEO and GEO satellite up-link applications. They are integrated units, complete with detachable power supply, phase-locked oscillator, mixer, filter and proprietary cooling mechanism. Intended for outdoor operation, the second generation systems are one of the most advanced GaN based Ka-Band units in the market providing higher power and higher reliability.
The SSPB-4010Ka is designed for Ka-Band satellite up-link applications. They are mounted outdoors, in the hub, or near the hub of an antenna. These SSPA/BUCs are available in redundant configurations with a single Monitor and Control interface.
Highlights of the new SSPB-4010Ka series include:
- Converts L-Band signal Ka-Band from 27.5 – 31 GHz (in bands)
- Meets the requirements per MIL-STD-188-164A and WGS
- Integrated amplifier with an output power of 100W to 200W
- Phase-locked oscillator to external 10MHz reference (optional)
- High linearity (very low Intermodulation products)
- Weatherproof package, IP67 compliant
- Remote Monitor & Control
- Protection against overdrive, thermal runaway and out-of-lock conditions
- Output sample monitoring port
- Detachable power supply
- CE Marking
