GaN Solid State Power Amplifiers

FEATURES

100W Ku-Band
Mini Compact Outdoor SSPA

Description
The Teledyne Paradise Datacom Mini Compact Outdoor Solid
State Power Amplifier (SSPA) is built for extreme environmental conditions and high reliability operation. Along with the robust construction exists the highest power density in the industry. This allows solid state technology to be used in applications that have long been reserved for TWTAs.
Gallium Nitride amplifiers offer considerably better performance
than conventional GaAs solutions. GaN offers better efficiency
than other conventional amplifier technologies and also
exhibits exceptional gain and power over frequency.
Weighing less than 24.5 lbs. (11.2 kg), and 19.6 lbs. (8.9 kg)
for Ku-Band units, and only slightly larger than a lunch box, this
family of GaN SSPAs is available in the following output power
levels:
C-Band: 50W, 80W, 100W, 150W, 200W
X-Band: 50W, 80W, 100W, 150W, 200W
Ku-Band: 40W, 50W, 80W, 100W

Remote Control Panel (RCP2-1000-MINI)

The RCP2-1000-MINI is a Remote Control Panel for the Mini Compact Outdoor SSPA. It
requires 1RU of cabinet space and provides a similar local interface as exists on Teledyne
Paradise Datacom Indoor Rack Mount amplifiers. Reference specification sheet 209728.
The controller communicates with the outdoor amplifier via a RS485 link. The controller then
provides a wide range of interface capability including Ethernet communications. The following communication links are available at the Remote Control Panel:

RS232 or Addressable RS485 Serial Data

Discrete (Parallel) Interface - Form C contact outputs & Opto Isolated Inputs
Ethernet Interface - A full compliment of Ethernet Communications including UDP,
SNMP, and an internal web browser.
Local (Manual) interface via front panel LCD display
Universal Handheld Controller (RCH-1000)

The Universal Handheld Controller (RCH-1000) is a versatile device used to interface with a
variety of Teledyne Paradise Datacom amplifiers, including Compact Outdoor SSPA, Mini
Compact Outdoor SSPA, or H-Series High Power Outdoor SSPA. Reference specification
sheet 211667.
The device is housed in a ruggedized
enclosure that is environmentally sealed to
IP65 levels. This allows the Universal
Handheld Controller (RCH-1000) to be used
in most outdoor environments. The rugged
construction of the device enclosure provides
protection from impact and vibration.
This device allows the operator to adjust the attenuation of the connected unit, and control the
mute/unmute selection, as well as monitor the status, conditions and settings of the connected unit via a serial RS-485 connection. Fault conditions and other events are tracked in the
controllers internal log.
