Comtech EF Data's HPOD series of SSPAs come equipped with useful features that
other manufacturers offer as options. Included in the base price are temperature
compensation, sample ports, power monitor, field replaceable power factor corrected
supply, and full remote monitor and control capabilities.
Higher power is available through the use of CEFD 1:1 and 1:2 phase combining kits.

OMBINING
Comtech EF Data's phase-combined systems allow the outputs of two amplifiers to be
summed together. A "normal" 1:1 system using 300W amplifiers provides 300W of
output power (the offline unit's capabilities are unusable). The same amplifiers in a 1:1
phase-combined system will provide 600W of output power in normal operation, and a
"soft failure" state of 300W. If no degradation on failure can be accommodated, a third
amplifier can be added to form a 1:2 phase-combined system.

PTIONAL
Comtech EF Data's unique approach to L-Band/RF frequency conversions eliminates DC
and 10 MHz from the input coax. This simplifies redundant and multi-carrier operation.
It offers full 13.75 to 14.5 GHz Ku coverage and supports industry standard FSK
modem/BUC communications. The optional BUC can lock to an external or internal
reference oscillator.
