CPI VZC-6967AH

750W Compact High Power Amplifier
for Satellite Communications
C - Band
The VZC-6967AH
750 Watt TWT High
Power Amplifier—
high efficiency in a
compact package.
C-Band
Global Applications
Provides 750 watts of power in a 5 rack unit
package, digital ready, for wideband, singleand multi-carrier satellite service in the 6.425
to 7.100 GHz frequency 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 89/336/EEC
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 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 fifteen regional factory
service centers.
