Ku-Band
GEN IV Klystron High Power Amplifier
Highly Efficient
Provides up to 2.45 kW of output power. Multi-stage
depressed collector klystron allows the amplifier to use less
power and produce less heat than other K-HPAs. Employs
a power saver feature to optimize K-HPA efficiency to meet
your operating condition.
Technologically Up to Date
Scopescreen provides a graphical log display. Ethernet
option provides higher speed connections, can update and
coordinate all clock settings, and enables a snapshot feature
where user can create a file containing all settings, alarms
and faults at a single point in time.
Small Size
Greater efficiency and exceptional thermal margins have
enabled CPI to design the smallest KPA on the market --without the threat of overheating or a shorter klystron life.
Greater Reliability
Low temperatures are the key to longer lifetimes for
klystrons and electronic parts. The CPI power supply design
and high efficiency, multi-stage depressed collector klystron
make these lower temperatures possible. K-HPA MTBF is
nearly 90,000 hours.

Notes: 1. Harmonic filter can be removed as an option. Add 0.25 dB to amplifier output for units ordered without harmonic filter. Output VSWR without filter is 1.25:1 max.
2. Prime power AC line unbalance not to exceed 3%. Excess imbalance may cause an increase in residual RF noise (AM, FM and PM). Phase noise increase is typically 2.5 dB / % imbalance.
3. AC current harmonic content: less than 20%, primarily fifth and seventh harmonics. Harmonics must be considered when choosing UPS sources.
4. Lower power consumption can be achieved if power saver (included as standard) is employed when operating below rated output power.
