Overview

The SSPB-210K® series are hub-mount up-converter transmitters, operating in the Ku-Band. The SSPB-210K® is an integrated unit, complete with power supply, phase-locked oscillator, mixer, filter and cooling mechanism. Intended for outdoor operation, the SSPB-210K® provides the utmost in convenience and efficiency. Other SSPBs are also available for higher powers or for operation at other up-link frequencies. The hub-mount SSPB-210K® is constructed in a compact cooling enclosure for outdoor operation. The units are weatherproof. They are the smallest fully integrated units on the market today. The design of these units is based on Advantech's industry proven reliable solid-state high power amplifiers. Built-in design features result in a product with exceptional linearity and operating efficiency. The use of high efficiency power supply and conservative thermal designs contribute to the trouble-free operation of the unit. Built-in microprocessor controller provides the capability for serial port  interfaces (RS485/RS232) for remote monitoring and control.

Application

The SSPB’s convert an L-Band signal (950-1450 MHz or 950 –1700 MHz) to the Ku-band frequency of 14.0-14.5 GHz or extended Ku-band (13.75 –14.5 GHz). Designed for Ku-Band satellite up-link applications the SSPB-210K® series is fully integrated units with up to 16W output power designed for mounting outdoors, near the hub of an antenna. Ku-Band SSPB is available in output power of up to 500W.
