CPI SAT C-Band Redundant LNA System LRC-1000

C-Band LRC-1000 LNA Redundancy System

The CPI SAT (formerly GD Satcom Technologies & Prodelin) C-Band Redundant LNA System LRC-1000 is specially designed to provide LNA redundancy in order to minimize system downtime due to LNA failure by providing a spare LNA and an automatic means of switching to the spare upon failure of a primary LNA.

A 1:1 system provides one spare LNA for one primary LNA. A 1:2 system provides one spare LNA for either of two primary LNAs.

The systems consist of an outdoor plate assembly which mounts at the antenna hub and an indoor control panel.

Plate Assembly Features

• LC-4000 Series Low Noise Amplifiers (LNAs)
• High quality dual waveguide/coaxial switches
• Manual override
• Waveguide input flanges
• Output coaxial isolators standard
• Tx reject filter(s), coupler(s), and offline I/O options available

Control Panel Features

• Standard 19" rack panel 3½" high
• Dual redundant power supplies
• Worldwide universal AC input capability
• Manual or automatic operation
• Monitors LNA bias currents to detect faults
• Automatically switches to standby LNA when fault occurs
• RS-232/-422/-485 and parallel I/O M&C interfaces
• Audible alarm
