Cascade Power Amplifier; Introduction - Codan Cascade Operation Manual

I N T R O D UC T ION
The CASCADE Power Amplifier (PA is designed to operate in the CASCADE subrack
(see Figure 12). The PA provides variable gain (35dB nominal) enabling 1W adjustable power steps
amplifying an input signal to a nominal output level between 40dBm and 51dBm. A scaled sample of
the output is provided as a control to enable the use of the amplifier in a Cartesian linearization loop.
Fault conditions are monitored and reported to the control unit, as well as indicated by LEDs on the
front panel.
