Comtech 750W C-Band Rack Mount High Power Amplifier with Touch Screen
- Touch screen interface
- Compact 4RU chassis
- Built-in redundancy controller
- Ethernet interface, remote diagnostics
- Parameter trend analysis
The XTRT-750С is a highly efficient rack mountable traveling wave tube amplifier (TWTA) designed for fixed and mobile uplink applications. The unit includes RF gain control, a solid state pre-amplifier, RF filters, cooling, and monitoring and control (M&C) systems. Rack space is conserved because the amplifier occupies only 4 rack units (7 inches) of a standard 19 inch rack cabinet. Nominal weight is 75 pounds.
The XTRT-750С is a 750W X-band amplifier with a touch screen front panel for easy customer interface. The display shows HPA status, parameter trend analysis and event logs, and remote diagnostics can be easily performed via the Ethernet interface. Also, because the display can show and control waveguide switches or a combiner, the need for separate external controllers is eliminated for common architectures.
The XTRT-750С incorporates high efficiency, dual stage collector TWTs. Reliability is enhanced because both prime power consumption and internal operating temperatures are reduced for both the linear and saturated modes of operation. Depending upon user requirements these amplifiers can be configured for either single thread or redundant system operation.
