Integral Systems Introduces Ultra-compact and Efficient 200 Watt Ku-band Solid State Power Amplifier
May 18 2011 - 8:35AM
Integral Systems, Inc., (Nasdaq:ISYS) announced today the
availability of its ultra-compact and efficient 200 Watt Ku-band
Solid State Power Amplifier (SSPA). The new 200 Watt SSPA, offered
through Integral Systems' SATCOM Solutions division, continues the
Company's leadership in the SSPA market. Earlier this year,
Integral Systems announced its 100W SSPA, which represented a major
leap forward in terms of SSPA size, weight, power efficiency and
cost. Like the 100W SSPA, the 200W SSPA offers unprecedented
high-power efficiency and large power output from a very small
package – 960 Watt consumption at 230 Watt Radio Frequency (RF)
output, while producing minimal heat. At just 12.5" (W) x 13" (L) x
3.65" (H) and 22.5 pounds in component configuration, Integral
Systems' 200 Watt SSPA is the smallest, lightest and most efficient
power amplifier on the market.
The compact size, low weight, high efficiency and low cost of
Integral Systems' ultra-compact and efficient 200 Watt SSPA makes
it the ideal choice for customers requiring a highly-efficient
amplifier solution for Size, Weight and Power (SWAP) sensitive
applications or those looking to replace or retrofit Traveling Wave
Tube Amplifiers (TWTA). Conversion to SSPA from TWTA is made simple
by Integral Systems' "Drop-in Replacement Program" with the added
benefits of improved reliability, increased efficiency,
ultra-compact size, lower weight and reduced heat when compared to
a typical TWTA. Integral Systems' 200 Watt SSPA reduces initial
capital costs – up to 40 percent depending on system requirements –
as well as ongoing operating costs by eliminating expensive tube
replacements.
"Our new 200 Watt SSPA represents a major leap forward in terms
of size and efficiency in the high powered SSPA market," said Steve
Gizinski, General Manager of Integral Systems' SATCOM Solutions
division. "Its small size and very high power output produces
minimal heat, thereby solving a wide array of our customers'
problems, including heat build-up, excessive weight and eliminating
bulky SSPAs that cannot be easily integrated into major
systems."
Integral Systems' 200 Watt Ku-band SSPA features include:
- Ultra-compact – Remarkably small size at 12.5"
(W) x 13" (L) x 3.65" (H) and 22.5 pounds in component
configuration with power supply and 12.5" (W) x 13" (L) x 6.65" (H)
and 33.2 pounds in outdoor configuration with cooling
fins/fans.
- Increased Efficiency – 30 percent peak
efficiency at 230 Watt output in component configuration; typical
saturated efficiency is 24 percent in outdoor configuration;
highest efficiency in 13.75–15.0 GHz band.
- Industry-leading Performance – The unit offers
50dB minimum gain with temperature compensation, output power
monitor with RS422 (serial communication) readout, monitor and
control processor, discrete transmit/mute control, fault protection
and reporting for over-temperature and over‐voltage or
over‐current.
- Environmental Sealing – Unlike many
component-style (indoor) amplifiers, the core unit is fully O-ring
sealed, providing a higher level of reliability and immunity to
moisture and dust; the unit has been field tested for all-weather
operations.
- Monitor and Control Functionality –
Efficiently monitor and control voltage, current, output power,
temperature and component alarms through a simple Graphical User
Interface (GUI) interfacing with a host computer over a serial
communications link.
Integral Systems leads the way in developing ultra-compact and
efficient SSPAs. The entire line of Integral Systems' family of 25,
40, 100 and 200 Watt SSPAs represent breakthroughs in size, weight,
power and cost. For additional information on Integral Systems
