Advantech Wireless Technologies Introduces its New Taurus X-Band Solid State Power Amplifiers and BUCs for Military Applications
Montreal, Canada, March 10, 2021--Advantech Wireless Technologies announced today the release of its new 800W and 1000W X-band Solid State Power Amplifiers and Block-Up Converters (SSPAs/BUCs) packaged in its compact Taurus outdoor enclosure. Taurus-X is the perfect solution for MODs engaged in both new terminal deployments and programs to modernize existing military satcom terminals.
Advantech has successfully achieved a 65% reduction in weight and 50% reduction in size as compared to earlier models, making Taurus-X the perfect choice for mobile terminals that must be efficient, compact in size and that must exhibit high resilience to shock and vibration.
Designed around Advantech’s high-power RF modules and high-efficiency passive combining structures, these units can replace aging 400W TWTs, while allowing 2-3 times higher traffic data rates without additional changes to the overall terminal design. With MTBF ratings that are multiples of those of TWTAs, Taurus-X offers a considerably lower cost of ownership over years of operation.
Taurus X-Band SSPAs/BUCs meet stringent Mil 461G and Mil 810G standards for increased EMI/EMC performance and reliability in challenging environments. An ideal solution for both mobile and fixed Communication terminals. It is designed for high efficiency resulting in an optimal compact form factor with high performance and reliability. With the advanced customer interface and HTTP embedded web page, the operator is able to monitor and control the BUC and the System Redundancy.
