Digital Microwave L-Band Linear RF Amplifier
The Cobham Digital RF amplifiers bring a new level of performance and
reliability to microwave transmission of digitally modulated video. The
linear RF power amplifier provides 5 watts of RF power into any load.
The linear amplifier features domo technology at its core and is ideal
for digital transmission applications in surveillance, law enforcement,
military UAV and UGV, airborne data/telemetry and television
broadcasting. It is designed to amplify COFDM digitally modulated
signals (QPSK, 16-QAM) and features broadband operation, while
requiring a minimum of DC current.
Only minimum heat sinking is required for the high output models
in normal operation. Packaged in a rugged aluminium housing, the
amplifier construction lends itself to applications where extreme
environmental conditions are the norm. Chassis connectors are
environmentally protected, making the amplifier ideal for airborne
operations where it can be mounted on a helicopter skid.
The integral lineariser minimises distortions typically associated with
conventional RF amplification techniques. The amplifier is designed to
meet the stringent requirements of the DVB-T spectral mask and may
be used for COFDM, QPSK, QAM and CW applications.
Input and output port protection is provided with a VSWR better
than 2.0:1 across the frequency band providing excellent matching
into filters. Reverse polarity protection and short circuit protection are
standard features.
