INTRODUCTION
The AWSB-K series described in this section are Advantech's line of medium gain solid state booster amplifiers
(SSBs) with basic control and output power ranging from 16 watts to 50 watts. These SSBs are protected
against damage in the event that input level rises to an overdrive condition. Other Ku-Band hubmount SSBs are
available for output power up to 125 watts.
Advantech's hubmount SSBs are sealed self-contained units designed for outdoor operation in harsh
environmental conditions and are particularly suited to applications where efficiency and size considerations are
critical. Advantech's hubmount SSBs set the industry standard for operating efficiency and feature compact and
lightweight construction.

APPLICATION
The AWSB-K series hubmount SSBs are designed as an economical way to boost the transmit gain and power
output of transceivers used in satellite uplink ground stations. These boosters provide from 26 to 31 dB gain and
have power output (P1dB) between 16 and 50 watts. The gain of these units may be reduced as required using
fixed attenuators. Other Advantech boosters are available with gain up to 35 dB and output power (P1dB) up to
125 watts.
