Teledyne Paradise Datacom Ku-Band Mini Compact Antenna Mounted SSPA System
Ku-Band power ratings from 50 to 80 Watts, extremely compact and reliable
Ku-Band Mini Compact Antenna Mounted SSPA System
The Teledyne Paradise Datacom Mini Compact Outdoor Ku-band Solid State Power Amplifier (SSPA) Systems are designed 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.

Space Saving Design
At less than 24.5 lbs. (11.2 kg), and 19.6 lbs. (8.9 kg) for the 80W Ku-Band units, and only slightly larger than a lunch box, this family of SSPAs is available in the following output power levels:
C-Band: 75W, 100W, 200W
X-Band: 50W, 75W, 100W, 200W
Ku-Band: 50W, 80W
