Teledyne Paradise Datacom 7RU C-Band High Density SSPA
Built-in 1:1 Redundancy Control, fully hot swappable power supply system
7RU C-Band Indoor Rack Mount High Density Solid State Power Amplifier
The Teledyne Paradise Datacom 7RU Indoor, C-Band High Power Rack Mount series of SSPAs represent the industry’s highest power density and most reliable high power amplifier systems.
Modular Design
The High Power Rack Mount SSPA employs a modular design, which allows quick and easy replacement in the event of a catastrophic failure of one of the SSPA components. These modular assemblies include: hot-swap SSPA modules, front and rear fan trays; and a rear panel controller card. These amplifiers are powered via a separate power supply chassis.

The power supply is configured as a n+1 redundant, hot swappable, power supply comprised of four modules. Only three modules are required to operate the HPA, therefore one module is redundant. In the event of a power supply module failure, the amplifier system will not fail. The module can then be changed without ever taking the HPA out of service.
