TL12UI

Extended Ku-Band
1.25 kW Extended Band SuperLinear® TWT Amplifiers
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
12.75 to 14.50 GHz, 12.75 to 14.80 GHz or 13.75 to 14.80
GHz bands (Refer to document MKT-232 for standard 13.75
to 14.50 GHz TWTA). 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.
Easy to Maintain
Modular design and built-in fault diagnostic capability via
remote monitor and control.
