Overview

The ARMA-5000S series are the rack-mount solid-state power amplifiers (SSPAs), operating in S-Band frequency range. The amplifier is an integrated unit, complete with power supply and cooling system.  Intended for indoor operation, the amplifiers are of compact size and occupy nine rack-mounting spaces (9 RU – 15¾”) of a standard 19-inch rack. Built-in microprocessor controller provides capability for serial port interfaces (RS485) for remote monitoring and control.

 

Advantech’s SSPAs set the industry standard for linearity and operating efficiency. Built-in design features and assembly methods incorporated with efficient combining techniques result in the trouble-free operation of the amplifier.

 

Application

 

The featured SSPAs are designed for S-Band satellite up-link applications. They are designed for 19-inch rack mounting in a protected environment. The ARMA-S series are available in output power from 50W to 1250W. For higher power Advantech provides phase-combined systems.

Other SSPAs are available for operation at other satellite frequency bands. With all the features of the ARMA-S, Advantech also offers a built-in converter.

 

Redundancy

 

With the addition of the appropriate waveguide and switch kit, the ARMA-5000S amplifiers can be easily converted for the operation in 1:1 redundant configuration without the use of any external controller. Full remote Monitor and Control of the redundant system is accessible via the serial port (RS-485).
