Description
OPTIONS
The Teledyne Paradise Datacom Compact Outdoor Solid State
Power Amplifier (SSPA) is built for extreme environmental
conditions and high reliability operation. Along with the robust
construction exists the highest power density in the industry.
This allows solid state technology to be used in applications
that have long been reserved for TWTAs.
•
This Ka-Band SSPA weighs in at less than 44 lbs. (20.0 kg),
and is only slightly larger than a shoe box.

Optional L-Band Operation
Teledyne Paradise Datacom offers Ka-Band amplifiers with an integrated L-Band Block Up
Converter. The L-Band units utilize Paradise Datacom’s proprietary zBUCTM technology. The
addition of a zBUC converter to a Compact Outdoor SSPA typically increases the gain by
2-4 dB. The advantages of zBUC technology include:
•
•
•
•
•
zBUC converters can detect and switch to an extenally supplied reference.
Optional internal high stability (50 MHz) reference.
zBUC converters can lock to an externally supplied reference of 5, 10, or
50 MHz without modification.
zBUC converters can accept a wide range of external reference power
(-10 dBm to +5 dBm)
zBUC converters can accept FSK monitor and control signal via the IFL for
complete amplifer remote control.
