1U Satellite Communication Amplifiers

In a brand new concept, Atlantic Microwave Limited offers a range of “turn-key” line amplifiers in 1U x 19 inch rack units for fast installation and hook-up in satellite communication bands from L to Ku.

Typical gain of standard units is in the 20 to 25 dB range which is generally sufficient to compensate for cross-site cable losses while the output power of +20 dBm at 1 dB gain compression is selected to provide an adequate drive level for a high power TWT or solid state amplifier.

All the usual transmit and receive bands are covered from 3.6 to 31 GHz while some models will encompass multi band applications such as C, X and Ku in a single unit.

In addition to the standard models, there is a wide range of options including multiple outputs, local or remote gain control, additional gain to 30 dB, 40 dB or higher and improved input and output VSWR to 1.25 max.

Further customisation is possible with gain slope equalisation, outdoor housings, filtering and special frequency ranges.

All units operate from an 80 to 240 V, 50 / 60 Hz AC supply via an IEC connector while RF connectors come in a choice of SMA, type N or 2.92mm according to customer requirements and frequency range.
