Comtech 50 Watt Linear X-Band Outdoor High Power SSPA Block Upconverter
- 50W linear output power
- High efficiency GaN design
- Compact, rugged 10 lb. package
- Operates over -40ºC to +60ºC environment
The XTSLIN-50X-B1 High Power Solid State Block Upconverters (BUC) are a series of compact fully integrated antenna mount units designed for low cost operation and longevity. This unit generates over 50W of linear power providing the most linear output power available in a package this size. By using the latest in high efficiency GaN technology, this linear power can be achieved with a prime power consumption of only 300 watts.
Intended for outdoor operation in challenging environments, the XTSLIN-50X-B1 is light weight and allows for direct mount to the antenna, minimizing waveguide RF losses. Forced air cooling is implemented in the package to allow reliable operation over an extended temperature range. The monitor and control (M&C) interface provides a component system status via Ethernet or RS-485 and RS-232.
