Application

The SSPAs are designed for C-Band satellite up-link applications. They are mounted outdoors, near the hub of an antenna. The AWMA-C series are available in output power from 20W to 1000W. For higher power Advantech provides phase-combined systems.

Other SSPAs are available for operation at other satellite frequency bands. With all the features of the AWMA-C, Advantech also offers a built-in converter.

SSPA/ SSPB specifications

Advantech, a leader in embedded computing and automation solutions, has developed the SSPA (Smart Safe Power Amplifier) and SSPB (Smart Safe Power Block) series as a part of their commitment to providing high-performance, efficient power solutions for various industrial applications. These products are designed to cater to the growing demand for reliable amplification and power management in critical environments, including telecommunications, defense, and broadcasting.

The SSPA series is engineered to deliver high linearity and efficiency, making it ideal for applications requiring robust signal amplification. With frequencies up to 18 GHz, these amplifiers can handle various signals with ease, ensuring optimal performance in demanding environments. The SSPA is particularly noted for its lightweight design, enabling ease of integration into existing systems without adding significant weight or requiring extensive modifications.

On the other hand, the SSPB series focuses on providing power block solutions that combine robustness with advanced control features. These blocks are capable of delivering reliable power under varying load conditions while ensuring system stability. The SSPB is equipped with built-in thermal protection and current limiting features, safeguarding both the device and connected systems from potential damage due to overheating or overload situations.

Both the SSPA and SSPB utilize advanced GaN (Gallium Nitride) technology, which offers superior efficiency and performance compared to traditional silicon-based components. This technology enables the devices to operate at higher frequencies and deliver greater power density, ultimately contributing to reduced energy consumption. Moreover, the compact design of these devices makes them suitable for applications where space is at a premium.

Another key characteristic of the SSPA and SSPB series is their programmability. With sophisticated firmware solutions, users can easily adapt the operation of these amplifiers and power blocks to meet specific application requirements. This flexibility, combined with their durability and reliability, makes them ideal for both stationary and mobile applications.

In summary, Advantech's SSPA and SSPB series exemplify the company's innovation in power amplification and management solutions. Their cutting-edge technologies, such as GaN components, along with robust protection features and programmability, position them as essential tools in a wide range of industrial applications. These devices not only enhance performance but also ensure the safety and longevity of the systems they support.
