Compact Outdoor Solid State Power Amplifiers

The Paradise Datacom Compact Outdoor Solid State Power Amplifier (SSPA) is built for extreme environmental conditions and high reliability operation. Along with the robust construction exists the highest power density in the industry. This allows solid state technology to be used in applications that have long been reserved for TWTAs.

At less than 40 lbs. (18 kg), and only slightly larger than a shoe box, this family of SSPAs is available in output power levels in the following range:       S-Band: 50W - 300W       C-Band: 50W - 300W       X-Band: 60W - 250W       Ku-Band: 25W - 125W Specifications Compact Outdoor housing 10.0 X 19.5 X 6.50 in 254 X 495 X 165 mm 36.0 lbs. / 16.4 kg; 44.0 lbs. / 20.0 kg for higher powered units White powder coat finish Operating temperature: -40 to +60 °C

L-Band Operation

Paradise Datacom offers C-, X-, and Ku-Band amplifiers with an integrated L-Band Block Up Converter. The L-Band units utilize Paradise Datacom’s proprietary ZBUCTM technology. The addition of a ZBUCTM to a Compact Outdoor SSPA typically increases the gain by 2-5 dB. The advantages of ZBUC technology include:

• ZBUC can detect and switch to an extenally supplied reference.
• Optional Internal high stability (10MHz) reference.
• ZBUC can lock to an externally supplied reference of 5, 10, 20, 25, or 50 MHz without modification.
• ZBUC can accept a wide range of external reference power (-15dBm to +5 dBm)
• ZBUC can accept FSK monitor and control signal via the IFL for complete amplifer remote control.

Remote Control Panel - Ethernet Interface for the Compact Outdoor SSPA

The RCP2-1000 is a Remote Control Panel for the Compact Outdoor SSPA. It only requires 1RU of cabinet space and provides and identical local interface as exists on Paradise Datacom Indoor Rack Mount amplifiers.

The controller communicates with the outdoor amplifier via a RS485 link. The controller then provides a wide range of interface capability including Ethernet communications. The following communication links are available at the Remote Control Panel:

• RS232 or Addressable RS485 Serial Data
• Discrete (Parallel) Interface - Form C contact outputs & Opto Isolated Inputs
• Ethernet Interface - A full compliment of Ethernet Communications including UDP, SNMP, and an internal web browser.
• Local (Manual) interface via front panel LCD display

Fiber Optic Interface

Paradise Datacom offers an Outdoor Fiber Optic Converter Module (OFM-1000) for the Compact Outdoor SSPA which interfaces with a rack mountable Fiber Optic to L Band Transceiver (RCPF-1000).

The 1RU Indoor Fiber Optic to L Band Transceiver complements the Compact Outdoor Amplifier for a complete Optical interface for the amplifier.

What distinguishes the Paradise Datacom Fiber Optic solution is the ability to transmit and receive not only the L-Band IFL, but also a 10 MHz reference signal and an FSK signal that provides complete remote control of the amplifier. When equipped with a Paradise Datacom PD25 L-Band modem, a complete base-band to optical interface is realized.

A system utilizing a Fiber Optic link can have an IFL length in excess of 1km. An optical link is also desirable in areas in which L-Band interference can degrade the system’s performance.

MAP PRICES

There are places on our web site and in our print ads, where the spaces for prices are intentionally left blank. In other instances, the advertised; price is higher than the price you actually pay when you order that item. The reason for this is MAP, or Minimum Advertised Price.

MAP is a voluntarily agreement a retailer enters into with a supplier. According to the agreement, which varies in details from vendor to vendor, the retailer can sell an item for any price they wish, but may not advertise the item for an amount less than the Minimum Advertised Price. These agreements help level the playing field for both the small retailer and the giant retail chain. Retailers agree to MAP contracts because the vendor makes it worthwhile for them to do so. A retailer who abides by the agreement can count on getting first news and early shipments of new products, and generally enjoys a "favored" status.

At Satcom Resources, while we abide by our MAP agreements, we want to make it as easy as possible for you, our customer. Where there is a lower selling price and we can, we will volunteer it -- no need for a nod-and-a-wink or a secret password. At Satcom Resources, our lowest selling price is always what you pay. Some Online Retailers make it difficult to tell you about lower-than-MAP prices. At Satcom Resources, we've set up workarounds. Either we ask you to call, or we will e-mail the price.If you still have any questions about MAP policies, feel free to contact us via e-mail at info@satcomresources.com.
