VZC-6964 - Communications & Power Industries

400W Compact Medium Power Amplifier
for Satellite Communications
C-Band
The VZC-6964
400 Watt TWT Medium
Power Amplifier—
high efficiency in a
compact package
C-Band
Global Applications
Provides 400 watts of power in a 3 rack unit
package, digital ready, for wideband, singleand multi-carrier satellite service over any one
of several frequency ranges in C-band. Ideal for
transportable and fixed earth station applications
where space and prime power are at a premium.
Meets International Safety Standard EN-60215,
Electromagnetic Compatibility 2004/108/EC
and Harmonic Standard EN-61000-3-2 to
satisfy worldwide requirements.
Efficient
Employs a high efficiency dual-depressed
collector helix traveling wave tube backed by
many years of field-proven experience in
airborne and military applications.
Simple to Operate
User-friendly microprocessor-controlled
logic with integrated computer interface.
Digital metering, pin diode attenuation and
optional integrated linearizer for improved
intermodulation performance.
Easy to Maintain
Modular design and built-in fault diagnostic
capability with convenient and clearly visible
indicators behind front panel door for easy
maintainability in the field.
Worldwide Support
Backed by over three decades of satellite
communications experience, and CPI’s worldwide
24-hour customer support network that includes
twenty regional factory service centers.
