CPI-Built RF Brick Inside
Global Applications
Ku-Band
With CPI-built RF brick inside and plenty of
thermal margin, this SSPA is rock-solid, highly
efficient and easy to maintain.
High LInearity
Excellent AM/PM, phase noise and spectral
regrowth performance.
Simple to Operate
Perfect for Satcom on the Move, Micro
Flyaway Systems, VSATs, and antenna-
mount applications. Meets International
Safety Standard EN-60950, Electromagnetic
Compatibility 89/336/EEC and Harmonic
Standard EN-61000-3-2 to satisfy
worldwide requirements.
Worldwide Support
50W Solid State BUCs
User-friendly microprocessor-controlled
logic with both integrated serial (RS-232
and RS-422/485) and Ethernet computer
interfaces. Also contains digitally controlled
attenuator.
Extended Band Operation
Backed by over three decades of satellite
communications experience, and CPI’s
worldwide 24-hour customer support network
that includes sixteen regional factory
service centers.
Provides 45 watts of P1dB output power at
the flange over the entire 13.75 to 14.50 GHz
frequency range.
