SpacePath STRS Series C-Band Rack Mount SSPA

The SpacePath Communications Rack Mount Block-Up Converter Series is smaller, lighter and more powerful 50W-500W Ku-Band and 100W-800W C-Band Rack Mount BUC / SSPA.

This Series allows significant high power BUC / SSPA size and weight reduction and at the same time substantially improves thermal efficiency, which leads to higher reliability and longer MTBF.

The new SpacePath Communications series powered by GaN technology 50W -800W BUC/SSPA are very compact, light and extremely powerful. Using patent pending Z-combining method and advanced GaN technology the new 50W - 500W Rack Mount BUC / SSPA has truly outstanding power density - up to 500W Ku-Band Psat in 5RU and up to 400W C-Band Psat in 4RU light compact package. The SpacePath 50W - 800W Rack Mount BUC / SSPA features best in class RF characteristics, RF sample port, true RMS power measurements, extensive monitor and control capabilities enabled via Ethernet, Serial and/or Analog Interfaces. Redundant truly hot swappable power supply gives even higher overall reliability.
