750 Watt C, X and Ku-Band

Antenna Mount Amplifiers

With Block Upconverter

The XTD-750-B1 is a series compact, self-contained, antenna

FEATURES mountable power amplifiers designed for low cost installation and
• Rugged 75 lb. antenna long life. The XTD-750-B1 design eliminates the need for an ampli-
fier shelter as well as a long waveguide run between the amplifier
mount package
and antenna feed horn. RF filters, cooling, and monitoring & control
(M&C) systems are all self-contained within the High Power Ampli-
• Extended frequency band fier (HPA). These features provide high reliability, low maintenance
available costs, and low replacement costs.
The XTD-750-B1 uses high efficiency, dual-stage collector Trav-
eling Wave Tubes (TWT). Some benefits of this type of tube are:
• L-band input
reduced prime power consumption., lower internal operating
temperatures., and reliability enhancement. These benefits are
• Complete RS-232/422/ obtained for both the linear and saturated modes of operation.
485 M&C interface The XTD-750-B1 may be configured for single thread, redun-
dant, phase-combined, or linearized operation. A remote external
controller is available to operate the HPA from a user selected loca-
• Optional Ethernet
tion. Mounting brackets can be supplied to mount the HPA to most
popular antennas.
