Amplifiers
Overview
Comtech EF Datas (CEFD) series of High-Power Outdoor (HPOD) C-, X-, and Ku-Band Solid-State Power Amplifiers (SSPAs) provide a
cost-effective option to TWT amplifiers in satellite communications terminals. The HPOD delivers its rated power, guaranteed at the 1 dB
compression point to the transmit waveguide flange.
Functional Description
An HPOD consists of an SSPA module with the Monitor/Control Processor (MCP), a field replaceable power supply, and a field
replaceable fan assembly. The amplifier features a Comtech EF Data low-loss combining technique and MCP-based temperature versus
gain compensation.
Redundant Systems
The HPOD amplifiers were designed from the start to provide cost-effective 1:1 or 1:2 systems. Redundant system control is built into the
unit, eliminating an external controller with its associated cabling. This provides a cost benefit to our customers both at initial purchase
and at installation.
Feature Packed
The HPOD SSPAs come equipped with useful features that other manufacturers offer as options. Included in each units base price are
temperature compensation, sample ports, power monitor, field-replaceable power factor corrected supply, and full remote monitor and
control capabilities.
