Teledyne Paradise Datacom has a rich history in the design
and production of Gallium Nitride (GaN) based SSPAs. Our
engineers utilize innovative linearization techniques that enable
GaN amplifiers to produce linear output power with the same
efficiency as tube based amplifier systems. A complete family
of Satcom amplifiers has been developed that cover S-Band
through Ku-Band.

GaN amplifiers have a superior set of mutually beneficial char-
acteristics, including:
Higher Output Power
Greater Power-Added Efficiency
High Reliability

These GaN amplifier modules are installed in the popular 4RU
(7 inch high) Chassis, which features a front panel display and
five fault condition LEDs that reflect some of the SSPA
major fault states. Local/Remote and Mute/Unmute LEDs show
the current control mode and mute state of the amplifier.

A full compliment of remote monitor and control of the amplifier
is available at the rear panel, including: RS-232/RS-485; Ether-
net, with UDP and SNMP control; Web Browser TCP/IP; and
Discrete hardware (parallel port) signals.

L-Band Operation

Teledyne Paradise Datacom amplifiers are available with an integrated L-Band Block Up
Converter. The L-Band units utilize Teledyne Paradise Datacoms proprietary zBUC
technology. The addition of a zBUC
converter to the SSPA typically increases the gain by

2-4 dB. Tha advantages of zBUC technology include:
zBUC converter can detect and switch to an extenally supplied reference.
Optional internal high stability (10MHz) reference.
zBUC converter can lock to an externally supplied reference of 5, 10, 20, 25, or 50 MHz
without modification.
zBUC converter can accept a wide range of external reference power (-10 to +5 dBm)
zBUC converter can accept FSK monitor and control signal via the IFL for complete
amplifer remote control.

1RU N+1 Redundant Power Supply

The addition of a separate, fully redundant power supply is an excellent means of obtaining
the ultimate system reliability. The power supply is an N+1 redundant configuration, meaning
that there is one more power supply module available than is required to operate the SSPA.
Depending on the power requirements of the SSPA module, the power supply chassis is
populated with two, three or four 2500W hot-swappable modules. A failure of one power
supply module will not take the amplifier off the air.
In addition, the power supply modules are removable from the front panel while in operation.
There is never a need to remove the power supply chassis from the equipment rack.

The power supply has a single phase, universal AC input rating from 90-265 VAC, 46-63 Hz.
It is power factor corrected to 0.99.
