Overview

The SSPBg-210KTM series is a hub-mount up-converter transmitter, using GaN Technology, operating in the Ku-Band. The SSPBg-210KTM is an integrated unit, complete with power supply, phase-locked oscillator, mixer, filter and cooling mechanism. Intended for outdoor operation, the SSPBg-210KTM provides the utmost in convenience and efficiency. Other SSPBs are also available for higher powers or for operation at other up-link frequencies.

The hub-mount SSPBg-210KTM is constructed in a compact cooling enclosure for outdoor operation. The units are weatherproof. They are the smallest fully integrated units on the market today.

The design of these units is based on Advantech Wireless’ industry proven reliable solid-state high power amplifiers. Built-in design features result in a product with exceptional linearity and operating efficiency. The use of high efficiency power supply and conservative thermal designs contribute to the trouble-free operation of the unit.

Application

The SSPB’s convert an L-Band signal 950 – 1450MHz (or 950-1700 MHz) to the Ku-band frequency of 14.0 – 14.5 GHz or to the Extended Ku-Band frequency of 13.75 – 14.5 GHz, by selecting the proper LO in the field. Designed for Ku-Band satellite up-link applications the SSPBg-210KTM series is fully integrated units with up to 16W or 20W output power designed for mounting outdoors, near the hub of an antenna.

The size and weight of this very compact design makes it especially attractive for manpack terminal applications.
