New Dual Band SSPA Debuts from Teledyne Paradise Datacom

February 20, 2020 by editorial

Teledyne Paradise Datacom (Paradise), part of the Teledyne Defense Electronics Group, has rolled out their new L- and S-Dual Band solid state power amplifier (SSPA).

Both S- and L-band frequencies have been the industry’s bands of choice for positioning and tracking applications such as global positioning systems (GPS) and Tracking, Telemetry, and Control (TTC) ground stations. This new dual band product offers customers a virtual ”two for the price of one” SSPA solution that dramatically lowers the costs of command and control, leaves a much smaller footprint, but also delivers higher reliability compared to traditional klystron power amplifiers.

An ideal fit for Military and Commercial command and control environments, the L/S-band SSPA provides the high reliability of solid state technology required to support critical communications between the earth and satellites, in a rugged, outdoor-rated enclosure.

Compared to older vacuum-based technology, the enhanced reliability and ease-of-use gives operators the opportunity to support command and control facilities with non- or semi-technical staff. In instances where modular solid-state deployments with n+1 redundancy are used, it is often even possible to benefit from unmanned or remotely manned uplinks.

The L/S Dual Band SSPA is available in two power levels, both of which are housed in rugged, outdoor-rated enclosures. Power levels up to 800W are available in the High Power Outdoor SSPA package (part number HPAS2800GHXXXXXG) and up to 400W in the Compact Outdoor SSPA enclosure, (part number HPAS2400GCXXXXXG). Both units are available covering sub-band “G” (1.75 to 2.12 GHz).

Mike Towner, Senior Director of Sales and Marketing, said that smaller satellites and new deployment technology are reducing satellite launch costs and the number of satellites on-orbit is increasing dramatically. This is increasing the demands on operators that are performing station keeping and their need for reliable command and control systems. The introduction of the industry’s first, outdoor, dual band SSPA gives the flexibility of a single amplifier covering both bands, and the reliability and reduced maintenance costs that come with a solid state solution.
