    Before operation, read Section 1.4.6 “Important Information on Temperature and RF Overdrive.” The compact, thermally efficient design and beneficial features of the Comtech EF Data TRP1000-4450-OD Troposcatter C-Band Outdoor Amplifier (Figure 1-1) – referred to throughout this manual as the TRP1000-4450, SSPA, TRP-1000-OD, or amplifier – are the result of Comtech EF Data’s extensive experience in the design of outdoor RF amplifiers and transceivers.

  • Page 16: Functional Description

    Revision 0 Functional Description Each TRP1000-4450 consists of a Comtech EF Data Solid-State Power Amplifier (SSPA) module, a Monitor/Control Processor (MCP), Forward, Reflected, and Input RF Power monitoring, a power supply, and thermal management system with heat sinks and cooling fans. The amplifier features a proprietary Comtech EF Data low-loss combining technique and MCP-based temperature-versus-gain compensation circuitry.

  • Page 17: Complete Temperature Testing

    The TRP1000-4450’s built-in data logging capability greatly enhances system maintainability. By recording critical operational parameters such as temperature, output power, mute status, etc. at time stamped intervals, the user can quickly gather intelligence about not only the unit itself, but also the unit’s operational environment.
