The XTD-150T from Comtech Xicom Technology is a Tri-Band Antenna Mount Power Amplifier that operates from 5.850 to 6.425 GHz (C-Band), 7.90 to 8.40 GHz (X-Band) and 13.75 to 14.5 GHz (Ku-Band). It delivers a TWT output power of 150 W in X-band with a small signal gain of 57 dB. This amplifier has been designed for low-cost and long-life applications and incorporates a number of features to enhance the overall reliability and minimize maintenance and replacement costs. It is intended for outdoor operation and eliminates the need for a separate amplifier shelter and can be configured for a single thread, 1:1 or 1:2 redundant operation. The power amplifier also eliminates the need for long waveguide runs and their associated RF losses, thereby maintaining a short distance between the amplifier and the antenna feed horn.
The XTD-150T can be remotely monitored and controlled using RS-232 and RS-485 interfaces. It is available in a compact, self-contained enclosure that measures 15.75 x 10.00 x 8.60 inches. This power amplifier requires an AC supply of 100-260 V, consumes 850 VA of power, and includes a high-frequency resonant conversion power supply with power factor correction that supports a wide range of prime power supply range.
