C-Band TouchPower™ Series

750 W Touchscreen TWTA

Compact and Efficient
Provides 750 watts of power in a 5 rack unit package, digital
ready, for wideband, single- and multi-carrier satellite
service in the 5.85 to 6.65 GHz frequency range, with
optional extended bands up to 6.725 or 7.075 GHz. Ideal
for transportable and fixed earth station applications where
space and prime power are at a premium. CAN-Bus
architecture improves noise immunity and reliability.
