CODAN VSAT high power series of outdoor mounting VSAT C Band and VSAT Ku Band SSPAs offer a wide range of distinctive advantages and enhanced features for satellite and communications systems based in remote or challenging geographic regions.
Key features
Output power
The VSAT C-Band CODAN SSPA offer an output power rating of either 60 or 120 watts while the VSAT Ku-Band CODAN SSPA is rated at 40 watts.
Durability
The CODAN VSAT SSPAs are designed and tested to meet their performance specifications in an ambient temperature range from -40°C to +55°C and up to 100% relative humidity, ensuring long-term survival in extreme conditions. Field experience indicates that MTBFs of greater than 60,000 hours can be expected.
RF performance
RF performance is superb, particularly: intermodulation performance, gain stability over temperature and flatness across the RF band.
The CODAN VSAT SSPAs also boast industry leading spurious and harmonics specifications, while guaranteed RF performance ensures expensive system link margins do not have to be used to cope with CODAN VSAT SSPA RF performance variations. The high linearity and low spurious characteristics contribute to superior multi-carrier performance.
Power consumption
CODAN high power VSAT SSPAs feature low power consumption and low temperature rise, ensuring internal components do not suffer undue stress.
Power supply
All the high power SSPAs are AC mains powered and automatically operate from either 115 V AC or 230 V AC.
Internal protection
Internal protection against high temperature and short or open circuit RF output is standard.
Advanced features

Local control
The user-friendly, PC-based SSPA Manager software is provided for operator control and monitoring of the SSPA. The operating configuration is stored in the SSPA EEPROM to ensure the setup parameters are restored in the event of a power failure.
Enhanced monitor and control
All operating functions can also be controlled and monitored via the serial M&C interface. Functions that can be monitored include RF output power, heatsink temperature and internal supply rail voltages. The serial interface can also be used to perform a self test, mute the SSPA, and set the gain and maximum/minimum RF power alarm thresholds.
The SSPA is supplied with RS232, RS422 and RS485 interfaces.
CODAN VSAT Redundancy switching system
CODAN VSAT redundancy switching system can provide automatic changeover to a second SSPA, maximising availability and minimising any disruption to service.
The CODAN VSAT redundancy switching system is fully outdoor mounted, but can be supplied with an indoor rack mounted SSPA Redundancy Monitor to provide indoor monitor and control of the redundant SSPA system.
