RF amplifier R&S®PKU100-I

powercompactrack-mount

The R&S®PKU100-I is a solid-state high-power amplifier (Indoor) for the Ku-band with a peak power of up to 750 W. The innovative solid-state design gives the amplifier top-notch efficiency in an extremely compact design. Teleport operators can simply integrate the R&S®PKU100 into existing infrastructure while saving energy costs. The powerful adaptive linearization improves RF parameters as never before. The satellite uplink amplifier from Rohde & Schwarz combines the advantages of solid-state and tube based amplifiers. Key facts RF saturated power 400 and 750 W Excellent power efficiency Unparalleled RF performance Easy operation and maintenance Integrated block upconverter (BUC) and unique adaptive linearization Excellent power efficiency Up to 50% cost savings for reduced power levels and 1+1 systems The R&S®PKU100 reaches unparalleled efficiency in relevant use cases with reduced power levels and backup amplifiers that spend most of the time on standby. When operating at 100W (Plin), the 400W-model consumes just 950 W of mains power. Efficiency is equal to 10% (@Plin) reducing energy costs by 25% compared to typical TWTAs. And in 1+1 configurations, savings doubles thanks to extremely low backup amplifier power consumption. Adaptive linearization Unparalleled spectral purity This R&S®PKU100 is the only amplifier with adaptive linearization within the Ku-band frequency, essential for minimizing intermodulation products and optimizing power efficiency. No user interactions or adjustments required, since the linearizer adapts to provide the best possible signal performance.
