Unique efficiency and signal quality in compact, weatherproof design

The R&S®PKU100-O is a solid-state high-power amplifier (outdoor) for the Ku-band with peak power of up to 750 W. The innovative solid-state design gives the amplifier top-notch efficiency in an extremely compact design. Teleport operators can simply integrate the R&S®PKU100 into existing infrastructure while saving energy costs. The rugged and weatherproof design complies with IP65 and can withstand extreme weather conditions. The powerful adaptive linearization improves RF parameters as never before. The R&S®PKU100-O outdoor satellite uplink amplifier from Rohde & Schwarz combines the advantages of solid-state and tube based amplifiers..

Caractéristiques & avantages

Excellent power efficiency

Up to 50% cost savings for reduced power levels and 1+1 systems

The R&S®PKU100 reaches unparalleled efficiency in relevant use cases with reduced power levels and backup amplifiers that spend most of the time on standby.  When operating at 100W (Plin), the 400W-model consumes just 950 W of mains power. Efficiency is equal to 10% (@Plin) reducing energy costs by 25% compared to typical TWTAs. And in 1+1 configurations, savings doubles thanks to extremely low backup amplifier power consumption.

Adaptive linearization

Unparalleled spectral purity

This R&S®PKU100 is the only amplifier with adaptive linearization within the Ku-band frequency, essential for minimizing intermodulation products and optimizing power efficiency. No user interactions or adjustments required, since the linearizer adapts to provide the best possible signal performance. This feature significantly improves transmission quality, especially for higher order modulation schemes.

Smart operation

Simplifying work for ground station operators

Operating and maintaining an R&S®PKU100 is very easy. It offers a sophisticated graphical user interface with monitoring capabilities and comes with self-protection mechanisms to eliminate accidental harm. In the event of a failure, the R&S®PKU100 stays on air. Redundant power supplies and parallel signal paths eliminate single points of failures known from traveling wave tube amplifiers (TWTA).
