CODAN HF Power Amplifiers are reliable, affordable and designed for use with our CODAN NGT HF SSB transceivers. The CODAN 3061 and 3062 provide 500W PEP and 1000W PEP output power respectively, and are suitable for voice and data operation.

Features

CODAN NGT HF SSB transceiver interface

CODAN NGT HF SSB transceivers provide users with a simple interface to control and operate the HF SSB Power Amplifiers. Fault conditions are automatically detected and reported to the user via the CODAN NGT interface. The CODAN HF SSB amplifiers automatically switch to stand-by mode when they are not being used, or when the attached CODAN NGT HF SSB transceiver is powered off.

Continuous mode operation

The CODAN HF SSB amplifiers are rated for 100% continuous operation in all modes for either voice or data applications.

High efficiency

Advanced switched mode power supplies are used in the final amplifier output stage to maximise efficiency of the amplifiers and reduce heat. This is achieved by varying the supply voltage on the RF transistors depending upon the current load and modulation.

Protection and backup

CODAN HF SSB Power Amplifiers are fully protected against all load conditions and excessive heat sink temperatures. They are capable of operating with loads of VSWR of up to 3:1 with reduced output power. When excessive VSWR or over temperature occurs, the amplifiers switch to by-pass mode to prevent permanent damage. In by-pass mode, the full output power of the attached CODAN NGT HF SSB transceiver is available as a backup to keep the station operational and on-air.

Antenna tuner interface

The CODAN HF SSB amplifiers provide an interface to control an external antenna tuner or coupler. The attached CODAN NGT HF SSB transceiver automatically performs a tune when a new transmit frequency is chosen.

Tuning operates on low power, then the high power output engages after the tune is completed.

Front panel indicators

The front panel indicators provide a comprehensive display of fault conditions including internal fault, VSWR and over temperature. An LED bar graph is provided to display either the PEP output power or supply current status.

Amplifier cooling

The CODAN HF SSB amplifiers have extensive heat sinks with fan forced airflow cooling. For increased reliability and durability, the fans are thermostatically controlled and operate on two speeds depending on the heat sink temperature.

Rack mounting

Both CODAN HF SSB amplifiers and associated power supply units are designed for use in 19" rack mount configurations and are 5RU high. Front air exhausts allow the amplifiers to be easily installed in virtually any type of 19" rack.
