Comtech 750W X-Band Antenna Mount Amplifiers With Block Upconverter

The XTD-750-B1 is a series compact, self-contained, antenna mountable power amplifiers designed for low cost installation and long life. The XTD-750-B1 design eliminates the need for an amplifier shelter as well as a long waveguide run between the amplifier and antenna feed horn. RF filters, cooling, and monitoring & control (M&C) systems are all self-contained within the High Power Amplifier (HPA). These features provide high reliability, low maintenance costs, and low replacement costs.

The XTD-750-B1 uses high efficiency, dual-stage collector Traveling Wave Tubes (TWT). Some benefits of this type of tube are: reduced prime power consumption., lower internal operating temperatures., and reliability enhancement. These benefits are obtained for both the linear and saturated modes of operation.

The XTD-750-B1 may be configured for single thread, redundant, phase-combined, or linearized operation. A remote external controller is available to operate the HPA from a user selected location. Mounting brackets can be supplied to mount the HPA to most popular antennas.
