Overview

The SSPB-2000C series are hub-mount up-converter transmitters, operating in the C-Band. The SSPB-2000C is an integrated unit, complete with power supply, phase-locked oscillator, mixer, filter and cooling mechanism.  Intended for outdoor operation, the SSPB-2000C provides the utmost in convenience and efficiency. They are the smallest fully integrated units on the market today. Other SSPBs are also available for diverse 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.  Built-in design features and assembly methods incorporated with efficient combining techniques result in an amplifier 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 amplifier.

Built-in microprocessor controller provides the capability for serial port interfaces (RS232/485) for remote monitoring and control.

Application

The SSPB-2000C series convert an L-Band signal to the C-band frequency (see table A).  Designed for C-Band satellite up-link applications, the SSPB C series are available in output power from 10W to 1000W. For higher power Advantech provides phase-combined systems. The SSPB-2000C series are fully integrated units with up to 250W output power designed for mounting outdoors, near the hub of an antenna.

Redundancy

With the addition of the appropriate waveguide and switch kit, The SSPB-2000C series converters can be easily converted for the operation in a redundant configuration with full remote Monitor and Control capability of the redundant system via serial interface.
