 Field Replaceable RF Modules, Power Supplies and Electronic
Assemblies make QuadMod an Efficient and Cost-Effective SSPA
VertexRSI's new QuadMod C-Band
Solid State Power Amplifiers (SSPAs) are completely modular RF
amplifier systems that offer output powers of 500 and 800 watts.
Based on technology used in VertexRSI's field-proven ModuMAX™
amplifiers, the QuadMod features field-replaceable RF modules, power
supplies and electronic assemblies to maximize performance and
minimize downtime in SatCom systems.
Marvin Shoemake, Executive Vice
President for Sales at TriPoint Global, said, "The QuadMod SSPA
incorporates some of the best design features of the successful
ModuMAX in a package that measures only 11 Rack Units high. QuadMod
is a cost-effective alternative SSPA for SATCOM gateway managers who
need the benefits of solid-state electronics, maximum performance
and easy, field-replaceable components to minimize downtime. QuadMod
can be used as a Stand-alone SSPA or in a 1:1 or 1:2 redundant
configuration."
The new QuadMod SSPAs include such
features as:
- Completely modular architecture
- 500/800 Watt Saturated Output power
- 20 dB range gain adjustment
- Direct-reading RF power meter
- Microprocessor-based monitor and control
- Serial interface (RS232/422/485) standard
- Output isolator for high load VSWR protection
- Reflected power monitoring
- RF input and output sample ports
QuadMod is the newest member of the
VertexRSI family of Electronic Products, which includes the ModuMAX
and Antenna Mount SSPAs; Klystron and TWT power amplifiers, Up/Down
converters and LNA systems.
