CODAN 240w c-band SSPA  5850 - 6425 MHz 4C33433A0001 model 9624H

Codan's high power series of rack-mounting -Band and Ku-Band SPAs offer a wide range of distinctive advantages and enhanced features for satellite communications systems.

Output power

SSPAs offer out put power ratings of 240 watts while the Ku-Band

RF performance is superb, particularly: intermodulation performance, gain stability over temperature and flatness across the RF band.

Codan's 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 under stress.

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.

These SPAs 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 SPA RF performance variations.

The high linearity and low spurious characteristics contribute to superior multi-carrier performance.

 All the high power SSPAs are AC mains powered and operate from either 115 V AC or 230 V AC

Internal protection against high temperature and short or open circuit RF output is standard.

Local control

A user-friendly, menu driven keypad and LCD display is provided for operator control and monitoring of the SPA. The operating configuration is stored in EEPROM to ensure the setup parameters are restored in the event of a power failure.

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 SPA, and set the gain and maximum/minimum RF power alarm thresholds.

The SPA can be supplied with a standard RS232 interface, or the optional RS422 or RS485 interfaces

Redundancy switching system

• Codan's redundancy switching systems can provide automatic changeover to standby SSPAs, maximising availability and minimising any disruption to service.

The 9070 based system provides rack-mounted redundancy control with extensive M&C facilities, and either 1:1 or 1:2 redundancy switching.
