The XTD-400 is a compact self contained antenna mountable high power amplifier (HPA) designed for low cost installation and long life. The outdoor design eliminates the need for an amplifier shelter as well as a long waveguide run between the amplifier and the antenna feed horn. RF filters, cooling, and monitoring & control (M&C) systems are all self contained within the HPA. These features provide high reliability, low maintenance costs, and low replacement costs.
The XTD-400 uses high efficiency dual-stage collector Traveling Wave Tubes (TWT). Some benefits of this type of TWT are:
- Reduced prime power consumption;
- Lower internal operating temperatures;
- Reliability enhancement.
A complete serial M&C system is built into the unit. A remote external controller is available to operate the HPA from a user selected location
