Overview

The SSPB-S2100K® series are hub-mount up-converter transmitters, operating in the Ku-Band. The SSPB-S2100K® is an integrated unit, complete with power supply, phase-locked oscillator, mixer, filter and cooling mechanism. Intended for outdoor operation, the SSPB-2100K® provides the utmost in convenience and efficiency. Other SSPB’s are also available for higher powers or for operation at other up-link frequencies. The design of these units is based on ADVANTECH AMT™ industry proven reliable solid-state high power amplifiers. The use of high efficiency power supply and conservative thermal designs contribute to the trouble-free operation of the amplifier. Built-in microprocessor controller provides the capability for serial port interfaces (RS232/485) for remote monitoring and control.

Features

• Converts L-Band to Ku-Band (see table A)

Application

The SSPB-2100K® series convert an L-Band signal to the Ku-band frequency (see table A). Designed for Ku-Band satellite uplink applications, the SSPB K series are available in output power from 8W to 500W. The SSPB-S2100K® series are fully integrated units from 20W to 80W output power designed for mounting outdoors, near the hub of an antenna.

Options

• Remote M&C panel (Ethernet port optional)
• Handheld terminal
