CPI TL07KO-L1 750 W Peak Ka-Band Liquid-Cooled Outdoor TWTA

CPI TL07KO-L1 750 W Peak Ka-Band Liquid-Cooled Outdoor TWTA

The CPI TL07KO-L1 is a compact, weatherproof 750 W peak Ka-band liquid-cooled traveling wave tube amplifier for wideband single- and multicarrier satellite uplinks. It supports up to 4 GHz of instantaneous bandwidth within 27.0–31.0 GHz and delivers 625 W peak, 325 W CW and up to 325 W linear output power at the flange. Its fanless liquid-cooling system makes it ideal for fixed earth stations requiring quiet, efficient operation.
