Overview

The SSPB-4000C® series are hub-mount up-converter transmitters, operating in the C-Band. The SSPB-4000C® is an integrated unit, complete with power supply, phase-locked oscillator, mixer, filter and cooling mechanism. Intended for outdoor operation, the SSPB-4000C® provides the utmost in convenience and efficiency. They are the smallest fully integrated units on the market today. 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. 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-4000C® 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-4000C® series are fully integrated units from 300W to 500W output power designed for mounting outdoors, near the hub of an antenna.

Options

  • Internal High Stability 10 MHz Reference
  • Redundant system
  • Remote M&C panel (Ethernet port optional)

Redundancy

The SSPB-4000C® series are available in redundant configuration with a single Monitor and Control interface.
