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.
