Section 1: General Information

1.0 Introduction

This section provides the general information for the Paradise Datacom LLC line of Compact Outdoor Solid State Power Amplifiers. The Compact Outdoor SSPA has been designed and manufactured to be an extremely robust and reliable amplifier. It is well suited for harsh outdoor environments.

1.1 Description

The Compact Outdoor SSPA is a one-piece integrated Satcom amplifier system. It includes the AC/DC power supply, microwave amplifier module, microprocessor based monitor and control circuitry, and an efficient thermal management system.

The reduced size and weight of this amplifier system allow it to be used in a wide variety of installations; many of which historically precluded the use of Solid State power amplifiers. This amplifier is ideal for mounting on the boom of small antennas or anywhere that size and weight are a major concern.

Features include:

●Compact Size: 10.0 in x 19.5 in x 6.50 in. (254 mm x 495 mm x 165 mm)

●Very light weight: Base units weigh as little as 36 lb. (16.4 kg)

●Auto-Sensing Power Factor Corrected Power Supply

●RF Gain Adjustment: 55 dB to 75 dB minimum with 0.1 dB resolution

●Output Power Detection

●Output Power Sample Port

●Internal 1:1 Redundant Capability

●Optional L-Band Input Capability

●Serial (RS 232 / RS 485) or Parallel Monitor & Control Circuitry

●Windows Monitor & Control Software

1.2Specifications

Refer to Appendix E for full specifications of the Compact Outdoor SSPA.
