Wavestream Gilat 500W C-Band Solid-State Troposcatter Amplifier
Transmit Frequency 4.4 - 5.0 GHz, Small Signal Gain 35 dB nominal, P1 dB Output Power 57 dBm
500 Watt Troposcatter SSPA
The Wavestream Gilat 500W Troposcatter SSPA takes high efficiency to a new level in solid-state power amplifiers. Wavestream’s proprietary spatial power combining enables packing 500 Watts into a rugged 85-lb. unit that can be mounted directly on medium aperture antennas, maximizing the power into the feed and further enhancing system-level efficiency.
Compact
The compact 24” x 12” x 8” SSPA provides the required linearity for troposcatter links. It provides high reliability to minimize life cycle costs even in the most demanding applications and extreme environments (- 40°C to + 60°C).
