SATELLITE COMMUNICATIONS

AnaCom's series of Extended C-Band SSPA's are available in output levels up to 210 Watts, in single or redundant configurations. For 15, 35 and 60 W SSPA's, the output is type N. The 40W and 70-210W SSPA's have waveguide outputs. AnaCom's Solid State Power Amplifiers are ruggedly built for continuous outdoor duty in all types of environments.

The power supply, voltage regulation, cooling and M&C circuitry are all included in a single enclosure. The internal power supplies accept a wide range of prime power input.

Flexible Applications

• Rural telecommunications expansion
• Industrial networking
• LAN and WAN extensions
• Emergency link restoration
• Remote surveillance
• Broadcast
• Point-of-Sales systems
• Video teleconferencing
• Conventional voice traffic
• Data distribution and collection

Built In Test Equipment

To improve and simplify maintenance routines, an external terminal (or computer) can be connected to monitor a number of critical parameters without use of additional test equipment. These include:

• Power Amplifier output level
• Power Amplifier input level
• Power Supply voltages
• Internal temperature
• Alarm details

Controllable functions from the terminal include:

• Power Amplifier Attenuation
• Power Amplifier ON/OFF

Comprehensive Monitor & Control

A powerful Monitor & Control feature allows you to monitor and control the SSPA on the same M&C bus with most indoor equipment such as modems and multiplexers. The Monitor & Control system can be used in combination with the unit's internal metering function to monitor operational parameters.

Benefits

• A family of products with significant commonality minimizes demands for spares and training
• "Last Touch" controls allow for remote configuration or local (manual) configuration
• Flash memory means that the SSPA always powers up with exactly the same operating conditions as when it lost power (or was turned off)
• Comprehensive maintenance features for operational effectiveness and minimum outages.
