FAQ
What is the 200W C-Band SSPB?
It is a solid-state power block upconverter that converts an L-band input into a C-band RF output while providing 53dBm, approximately 200W, of rated output power.
Which C-band frequency configurations are available?
The documentation lists three configurations: 5.85–6.425GHz with 950–1525MHz input, 5.725–6.425GHz with 950–1650MHz input, and 5.85–6.725GHz with 950–1825MHz input.
Does one unit cover all three frequency ranges?
The ranges are presented as separate band configurations. The required RF and IF combination should therefore be selected and confirmed before ordering.
What local oscillator frequency is specified?
A 4.9GHz local oscillator is specified with the primary 5.85–6.425GHz output and 950–1525MHz input configuration.
What are the rated and linear output powers?
The 200W version provides 53dBm rated output power and 50dBm linear output power.
Can the gain be adjusted?
Yes. The unit provides a 0–20dB adjustment range in 0.25dB steps, with 70dB specified small-signal gain.
Does the SSPB support an external reference?
Yes. It supports a 10MHz external reference at 0dBm ±5dB. The internal reference has stability of ≤±0.1ppm over temperature, and automatic reference switching is specified.
What RF interfaces are used?
The IF input uses an N-K 50Ω interface, the RF output uses a WR-137 grooved waveguide with a sealing ring, and the coupled output uses an SMA-K interface.
What AC power input is required?
The formal specification states 220VAC with a 176–264V operating range and a frequency range of 47–63Hz.
What is the power consumption?
The specified power consumption for the 200W version is 1100W at rated RF output power.
Which monitoring interfaces are available?
The unit provides a 19-pin circular connector and RJ45 interface, with RS485/RS422 and Ethernet monitoring through HTTP and SNMP.
Is the SSPB suitable for outdoor installation?
The enclosure is rated IP66 and supports operation from −40 to +60°C with 100% condensing humidity.
What are the dimensions and weight?
The outline dimensions are 320 × 220 × 185mm, and the specified weight is 16kg.
B2B Procurement FAQ
What information should be included in an RFQ?
Please specify the required RF output band, corresponding IF input range, quantity, AC supply conditions, monitoring interface and system-level connector requirements.
Should the RFQ identify this as the 200W version?
Yes. The 200W configuration uses 53dBm rated output power, 50dBm linear output power and 1100W power consumption. These values distinguish it from the higher-power configuration shown on the combined specification sheet.
How should the frequency version be selected?
Select the required RF and IF pairing from the three documented configurations. The local oscillator and final frequency plan for the selected version should be confirmed during quotation.
Which AC input range should be stated?
The formal specification states 176–264V AC, while a product photograph shows 170–264V AC. The required input-voltage tolerance should be confirmed during quotation.
Can an evaluation unit be requested?
Evaluation-unit availability is not stated in the supplied documentation and must be confirmed during quotation.
Which specifications should be verified during incoming inspection?
Recommended checks include the RF and IF frequency configuration, rated and linear output power, gain adjustment, VSWR, reference input, AC supply, RF interfaces and monitor-and-control communication.
Can protocol and interface documents be requested?
The applicable RS485, RS422, HTTP or SNMP documentation should be requested and confirmed before system integration.
Can packaging or identification labels be specified?
Packaging, product identification and labeling requirements are not stated in the supplied material and must be confirmed during quotation.
How are MOQ, lead time, warranty and delivery terms confirmed?
These commercial terms are not provided in the supplied documentation and must be confirmed in the supplier quotation.
