Ku-Band 1.25 kW SuperLinear® TWT Amplifier Compact Provides 1250 watts of peak power (540 watts operating) in a compact nine rack-unit package, digital ready, for wideband, single- and multi-carrier satellite service in the 13.75 to 14.50 GHz frequency band (12.75 to 14.50 GHz and 13.75 to 14.80 GHz optional). Designed for linear output up to 500 watts at the flange, with respect to each of two equal carriers, for multi-carrier uplinks. Ideal for transportable and fixed earth station applications where space and prime power are at a premium. 30% smaller than traditional HPAs and 50% more efficient than GaN SSPAs. Efficient and Reliable CPI SuperLinear® TWTAs are among the most power efficient in the industry. This amplifier is optimized for maximum efficiency at linear output operating levels. Simple to Operate User-friendly microprocessor-controlled logic with integrated computer interface, digital metering, pin diode attenuation, optional integrated linearizer for improved intermodulation performance, and BUC option for use with L-band modems.
