Paradise Datacom Mini Compact Outdoor SSPA

The Paradise Datacom Mini 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 24.5 lbs. (11.2 kg), and only slightly larger than a lunch box, this family of SSPAs is available in output power levels in the following range:

C-Band: 75W, 100W
X-Band: 50W, 75W, 100W, 175W
Ku-Band: 50W, 80W

Remote Control Panel - Ethernet Interface for the Mini 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 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

Paradise Datacom offers an Outdoor Fiber Optic Converter Module (OFM-1000) for the Mini 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 Mini Compact Outdoor Amplifier for a complete Optical interface for the amplifier.

What distinguishes the 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 Evolution Series PD25 L-Band modem, a complete baseband 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 system’s performance.
