The XTD-500DBS-B1 are compact self-contained, antenna mountable power amplifiers. Its design eliminates the need for an amplifier shelter as well as a long waveguide run between the amplifier and the antenna feed horn. RF harmonic filters, cooling, and monitoring & control systems are all self-contained within the HPA. These features provide high reliability, low maintenance costs, and low replacement costs.
The XTD-500DBS-B1 incorporates power factor correction which minimizes line current distortion and reduces the required Volt-Amps. The combination of power factor correction and high efficiency TWTs reduces input Volt-Amps by 45% when compared to equivalent amplifiers. A high frequency resonant conversion power supply that is used accepts a wide range of prime power (180 to 260 VAC). The automatic features of the power supply include quick recovery from prime power outages and multiple helix fault resets (three fault cycles). A complete serial monitoring and control system is built into the unit.
The XTD-500DBS-P1 may be configured for single thread, redundant or phase-combined operation. An optional linearizer is available to allow increased transmit power while meeting spectral regrowth requirements. A remote external controller is available to operate the HPA from user selected location. Mounting brackets can be supplied to mount the HPA to most popular antennas.
