Subscribe12.75-18.4 GHz Outdoor SSPA Product Line
Product Description:
The MPC8-1220 ODU provides an unparalleled size, weight, & power combination. The Series has a multitude of configurations that can meet your specific needs. The models are defined by the Communication bands + RF power levels 80W, 100W, or 125W, + optional features 04 (L-Band Block Up-Converter), and 09 (28V or 48V DC power supply). The features & options are ideal for SATCOM systems serving military & commercial airborne & mobile platforms.
Size: 13.875" x 8.98" x 10.27"
Weight: 34.9 lbs.
Performance Features:
Sophia's MPC8-1220 ODU provides high data rate systems with up to 125 watts of power and 50 dB of gain. Temperature compensation circuitry minimizes gain & power variations, and the F&R power monitor supports system calibration & reverse power protection. The outdoor enclosure includes a power supply and forced air cooling system. Smart sensors in the RF assembly and power supply provide thermal & bias protection, and the monitor & control circuit provides critical performance status for initial system integration and field use.
Monitor & Control Functions:
The monitor & control processor interfaces with a host computer. All voltage, current, power, and temperature sensors are read through this interface, including the forward & reverse power monitoring. The discrete mute control is opto-isolated for trouble-free system integration. The RS422 port communications run at 9600 or 38400 baud, 8-bit word, no parity, and 1 stop bit.
Configuration Options:
Sophia's MPC8-1220 comes in two configurations: a [system based] outdoor enclosure with integrated cooling as shown above and a [module based] component housing (see component SSPA data sheet). Additional options include: L-Band Block Up-Converter, and 28V or 48V DC power supply.
