Leading developer of highly efficient Solid State Power Amplifiers (SSPAs) and Block Upconverters (BUCs), Mission Microwave, will introduce its new Ka-band high power products at the SATELLITE 2020 event. The event is scheduled to take place from 09 – 12 March in Washington, D.C.
Mission Microwave has produced a family of wide-band Ka-band SSPAs to support LEO, MEO or GEO constellations from a single gateway station. Offered in commercial models within the range of up to 27 GHz to 30 GHz, these GaN based SSPAs are designed to be form, fit and function drop in replacements for Travelling Wave Tube Amplifiers (TWTAs) commonly used on gateway ground stations. These new products take advantage of the knowledge and experience gained from deployment of Mission’s existing product lines, which already lead the industry in mobile Ku and Ka-Band BUC deployments for commercial and Government SATCOM terminals.
The new amplifiers are the most advanced GaN SSPA on the market and can provide up to 166 watts of linear power in a multi-carrier environment and over 200 watts of linear power for a single carrier; providing an effective replacement for a 500 watt TWTA. They are designed for outdoor mounting and sustained operation at 60°C.
The new Ka-band version of Mission’s SSPA/BUC platform will be on display in Booth #1524 at the SATELLITE 2020 show along with the company’s signature Stinger, Javelin and Titan model BUCs that have already captured a leading position in the SATCOM terminal industry. Mission Microwave products will also be on display in over a dozen stands across the venue, incorporated in industry-leading products in top-tier mobile, maritime and transportable terminals. The company will also exhibit its complete product line of high power X, Ku and Ka Band amplifiers and BUCs and will have example terminal designs from key industry partners on display in its booth.
