The XTU-400 is a compact self contained antenna mountable power amplifier with built-in block upconverter designed for low cost installation and long life. The XTU-400 design eliminates the need for an amplifier shelter as well as a long waveguide run between the amplifier and the antenna feed horn. For example, an antenna mount 400 Watt Ku-Band amplifier with its shorter waveguide run will often deliver EIRP comparable to a 600 Watt rack mount HPA.

RF filters, cooling, and monitoring & control systems are all self contained within the HPA. These features provide high reliability, low maintenance costs, and low replacement costs.

The XTU-400 uses high efficiency dualstage collector Traveling Wave Tubes (TWT). Some benefits of this type of TWT are: reduced prime power consumption Lower internal operating temperatures Reliability enhancement. These benefits are obtained for both the linear and saturated modes of operation.

The unit incorporates an L-Band block Upconverter, thereby eliminating the need for a separate outdoor unit (ODU). The LBand transmit signal and a 10 MHz reference signal are brought out to the unit on a single coax line.

The XTU-400 may be configured for single thread, redundant, phase-combined, to linearized operation.

A remote external controller is available to operate the HPA from a user selected locations. Mounting brackets can be supplied to mount the HPA to most popular antennas.
