CODAN high power series of rack-mounting VSAT C-Band and VSAT Ku-Band SSPAs offer a wide range of distinctive advantages and enhanced features for satellite communications systems.
Key features
Output power
The VSAT C-Band SSPAs offer output power ratings of 60, 120 and 240 watts while the VSAT Ku-Band SSPA are rated at 40 and 80 watts.
Durability
The SSPAs are designed and tested to meet their performance specifications in an ambient temperature range from -10°C to +50°C. Field experience indicates that MTBFs of greater than 60,000 hours can be expected.
RF performance
RF performance is superb, particularly: intermodulation performance, gain stability over temperature and flatness across the RF band.
These SSPAs also boast industry leading spurious and harmonics specifications, while guaranteed RF performance ensures expensive system link margins do not have to be used to cope with SSPA RF performance variations. The high linearity and low spurious characteristics contribute to superior multi-carrier performance.
Power consumption
CODAN high power SSPAs feature a unique, low loss, efficient waveguide power combiner which results in low power consumption and low temperature rise. This ensures internal components do not suffer undue stress.
Power supply
All the high power SSPAs are AC mains powered and operate from either 115 V AC or 230 V AC.
Internal protection
Internal protection against high temperature and short or open circuit RF output is standard.
Advanced features
Local control
A user-friendly, menu driven keypad and LCD display is provided for operator control and monitoring of the SSPA. The operating configuration is stored in EEPROM to ensure the setup parameters are restored in the event of a power failure.
Enhanced monitor and control
All operating functions can also be controlled and monitored via the serial M&C interface. Functions that can be monitored include RF output power, heatsink temperature and internal supply rail voltages. The serial interface can also be used to perform a self test, mute the SSPA, and set the gain and maximum/minimum RF power alarm thresholds.
The SSPA can be supplied with a standard RS232 interface, or the optional RS422 or RS485 interfaces.
CODAN VSAT Redundancy switching system
CODAN VSAT redundancy switching systems can provide automatic changeover to standby SSPAs, maximising availability and minimising any disruption to service.
The CODAN 9070 based system provides rack-mounted redundancy control with extensive M&C facilities, and either 1:1 or 1:2 redundancy switching.
