Redundant internal AC power supplies
Soft Fail Design
Full power into load VSWR up to 2:1
Completed BITE to LRU
The Sunair LPA-9500 and LPA-9600 are proven solutions for communications applications where rugged and reliable high power amplifiers are required. The amplifiers combine solid state RF power amplification and control technology to produce reliable HF power in continuous operation. The LPAs interface directly to the 9000D series of radios and transmitters and operate over a frequency range of 1.5 MHz to 30 MHz, providing rated output for load VSWR up to 2:1 over the full temperature operating range, with graceful derating for load VSWR up to 3:1. Amplifiers are protected from damage due to load VSWR greater than 3:1 and short or open circuits.
The Sunair LPA-9500 and LPA-9600 use two and four power amplifier units, respectively, capable of producing over 300 W each, which allow the units to deliver conservative averages of 500 W and 1 kW. In the event of a failure of one of the LPA-9600 RF/PS modules, the module will automatically switch to 500W mode. The LPA-9500 provides selectable power of 500W or 250W, while the LPA-9600 provides selectable power of 1kW or 500W. both units allow bypass operation.
Advanced Built-in Test (BITE) capability, along with power status indicators, individual PA voltages and currents, are all microprocessor controlled. In the event of a malfunction, the amplifiers automatically select the next lower safe operating level, activate a warning light, and display the cause on the front panel. The amplifiers intuitive modular design allows for ease of maintenance and upgrades throughout the life of the equipment at minimal cost. Thousands are in daily service as integral components of critical strategic communications solutions worldwide.
