Satellite uplink amplifier for the Ku-band
  • Frequency range from 13.75 GHz to 14.5 GHz
  • RF peak power 400 W as indoor and outdoor model
  • GaN technology
  • Adaptive linearization
  • Upconverter for L-band input

Unique signal quality and efficiency in compact, lightweight design The R&S®PKU100 is a family of solid-state power amplifiers for the Ku-band with a peak power of 400 W. It features top-notch efficiency in an extremely compact design. The powerful optional adaptive linearization improves the RF parameters in a manner never before available. This amplifiers thus combines the advantages of solid-state and tube-based amplifiers.
Features & benefits Сдвинуть влево Сдвинуть вправо Compact and lightweight Both indoor and outdoor model The 400 W indoor model including power supply weighs just 18.3 kg and fits into 3 HU rack space. The outdoor model with a weight of 23 kg can directly be mounted a the antenna. It is rugged, weatherproof and complies to IP65. Both have half the weight of existing solid-state amplifiers on the market. Open Lightbox R&S®PKU100, indoor version, 400 W The R&S®PKU100 fits into 3 HU rack space and weighs just 18.3 kg R&S®PKU100, indoor version, 400 W - The R&S®PKU100 fits into 3 HU rack space and weighs just 18.3 kg Adaptive linearization Unparalleled spectral purity The amplifiers are the first of its kind worldwide, featuring optional adaptive linearization in the RF level. They can thus achieve a spectral purity never before reached. The linearization changes the input signal and optimally compensates the amplifier’s nonlinearities. As a result, the signal quality to the satellite inside and outside the wanted signal’s bandwidth is significantly increased.

Flexible power supply possibilities Power supply redundancy Power supply redundancy is offered as an option. The power supplies can be fed individually from different power networks. If one power network or power supply fails, the R&S®PKU100 continues to run at full power without interruption. With automatic plugging, defective power supplies can be switched quickly and easily without interrupting operation in the indoor model. The R&S®PKU100 can also be operated with 48 V DC.

The peak efficiency, defined as the efficiency of the entire amplifier, is > 20 %. It is calculated from the ratio of the RF power output at the flange to the applied AC power from the mains.
