2.2 DESCRIPTION

The SSPBMg-C200-BRE is a 200-Watt C-Band hub-mount (outdoors) Solid State Power Block
Up-Converter (SSPB). The entire SSPB is self-contained and is intended for mounting on to the
antenna hub, see Figure 1: Product Outline at page 11. It incorporates an Interface Assembly, Up-
Converter Assembly, High Power Amplifier (HPA) Assembly, Power Supply Assembly and a Main

2.2.1 P S
OWER UPPLY
There are two power supply assemblies in this SSPB. The first power supply provides +12 V DC
high current and – 9 V DC low current for the SSPB and +12 V DC for the fans. The second
power supply provides +48 V DC for the final GaN devices in the High Power Amlifier
Assembly. The unit is configured for operation from 90 - 264 V AC, single phase, 47-63 Hz.
It has a Power Factor Correction (PFC) of 95%, minimum.
The overall power consumption is 750 W (@ P RF Output Power) and 900 W (@ P RF
LIN SAT
Output Power), typical.
