MPCD61500M Image

The MPCD61500M from Communications & Power Industries is a SATCOM Amplifier System with a frequency range of 5.850-6.425 GHz. This C-band amplifier system has a gain of 70-75 dB and a gain adjustment range 20 dB min in 0.1 dB steps. It has a harmonics value of -60 dBc and a saturated output power of 61.3 dBm. The amplifier system has a residual noise of -70 dBW/4 kHz and an AM/PM conversion of 3.5 degrees/dB. It has a spurious of -70 dBc and a maximum VSWR of 1.3:1. The amplifier system requires a power supply of 180-264 VAC and has a power consumption of 7-9.3 kW. It features a modular architecture and QuadMod SSPAs that consist of four identical, forced air cooling system and fully inter-changeable RF plug-in modules. The amplifier system weighs 115 Kg (RF unit) and measures 483 x 577 x 695 mm (W x H x D).
