FEATURES

125W Ku-Band
Compact Outdoor SSPA

Description
The Teledyne Paradise Datacom Compact Outdoor Solid State
Power Amplifier (SSPA) is built for extreme environmental
conditions and high reliability operation. Along with the robust
construction exists the highest power density in the industry.
This allows solid state technology to be used in applications
that have long been reserved for TWTAs.
At less than 40 lbs. (18 kg), and only slightly larger than a shoe
box, this family of SSPAs is available in output power levels in
the following range:
S-Band: 50W - 300W
C-Band: 30W - 300W
X-Band: 25W - 250W
Ku-Band: 10W - 125W

L-Band Operation
Teledyne Paradise Datacom offers C-, X-, and Ku-Band amplifiers with an integrated L-Band
Block Up Converter. The L-Band units utilize Teledyne Paradise Datacoms proprietary
zBUCTM technology. The addition of a zBUC converter to a Compact Outdoor SSPA typically
increases the gain by 2-4 dB. The advantages of zBUC technology include:
zBUC converters can detect and switch to an extenally supplied reference.
Optional internal high stability (10MHz) reference.
zBUC converters can lock to an externally supplied reference of 5, 10, 20, 25, or 50 MHz
without modification.
zBUC converters can accept a wide range of external reference power (-10 to +5 dBm)
zBUC converters can accept FSK monitor and control signal via the IFL for complete
amplifer remote control.

Remote Control Panel - Ethernet Interface for the Compact Outdoor SSPA

The RCP2-1000 is a Remote Control Panel for the Compact Outdoor SSPA. It only requires 1RU of cabinet
space and provides and identical local interface as exists on Teledyne Paradise Datacom Indoor Rack Mount
amplifiers.
The controller communicates with the outdoor amplifier via a RS485 link. The controller then provides a wide
range of interface capability including Ethernet communications. The following communication links are available
at the Remote Control Panel:

RS232 or Addressable RS485 Serial Data

Discrete (Parallel) Interface - Form C contact outputs & Opto Isolated Inputs
Ethernet Interface - A full compliment of Ethernet Communications including UDP, SNMP, and an
internal web browser.
Local (Manual) interface via front panel LCD display

Fiber Optic Interface

Teledyne Paradise Datacom offers an Outdoor Fiber Optic Converter Module (OFM-1000) for the Compact
Outdoor SSPA which interfaces with a rack mountable Fiber Optic to L Band Transceiver (RCPF-1000).
The 1RU Indoor Fiber Optic to L Band Transceiver complements the Compact Outdoor Amplifier for a complete
Optical interface for the amplifier.
What distinguishes the Teledyne Paradise Datacom Fiber Optic solution is the ability to transmit and receive not
only the L-Band IFL, but also a 10 MHz reference signal and an FSK signal that provides complete remote
control of the amplifier. When equipped with a Paradise Datacom PD25 L-Band modem, a complete base-band
to optical interface is realized.
A system utilizing a Fiber Optic link can have an IFL length in excess of 1km. An optical link is also desirable in
areas in which L-Band interference can degrade the systems performance.
