T-10000B 10 KILOWATT HIGH POWER TRANSMITTER SYSTEM SUNAIR

Description

The Sunair T-10000B is the hallmark solution for missioncritical communications applications requiring reliable coverage. The transmitter system combines solid-state
radio and RF power amplification and control technology to produce a fail-safe high power solution that operates in a frequency range of 1.5 MHz to 30 MHz. Maximum power output is 10 kW at 100% duty cycle to facilitate longrange hemispheric communications when coupled with the appropriate antenna. Power is reducible in 1 dB steps
down to the 1 kW level. Standard operating voltage is three phase 338 – 458 Vac, 47 to 63 Hz with a modest power requirement of ≤ 35 kVA.
The Sunair T-10000B is supplied as an integrated system consisting of the Sunair T-9000S Software-Defined Next Generation HF SSB/ISB Transmitter, F-9800 Post-Selector, and the LPA-10000A 10 Kilowatt Power Amplifier. The amplifier architecture consists of eight IPA intermediate power amplifier subsystems that are combined to produce final power output and managed by the Sunair HPAC High
Power Amplifier Controller. The HPAC actively monitors system balance and performance, and provides power control and safety shutdown in the event of internal module failure such as power supplies, system failures such as air flow or over temperature or external failures such as high antenna VSWR and short or open circuit.
Advanced built-in-test (BITE) capability reports the status of the T-10000B down to the Lowest Replaceable Unit (LRU) level providing English messages on the HPAC and the T-9000S front panel displays, and then to a remote site when configured. Individual LRU fault indication and the system’s intuitive modular design allows for ease of
maintenance and upgrade throughout the equipment life cycle at minimal expense. These high-performing niche products are in daily service as integral components of critical strategic communications solutions for leading defense, peacekeeping, and aviation agencies around the world.

Modes of operation are AM, NB-FM, USB, LSB, ISB, CW, and FSK; Data implemented with internal or external modems. When paired with a companion receiver the T-10000B offers 2G and 3G Automatic Link Establishment (ALE) as an internal or external option in accordance with MIL-STD-188-141 A/B/C, FS1045A, and STANAG 4538.
Frequency hopping compliant to STANAG 4444 and HF email/data transfer with Automatic Link Maintenance (ALM) compliant to STANAG 5066 are available with optional external controllers.
Designed as a high performance HF system the T-10000B complies with the radio requirements of MIL-STD-188-203-1A and STANAG 5511/5522 (TADIL-A/Link 11 and NILE/Link 22) for tactical data link operation. It also complies with the performance requirements in MIL-STD-188-141C and STANAGs 4203 and 5031.
The T-10000B is compatible with STANAGs 4285, 4529,4415, 4481, 4539, and 5065 and MIL-STD-188-110B (including Appendix F ISB) HF modem waveforms. These waveforms can be provided with optional internal or external HF data modems. If equipped with the Internal
data modem option the architecture of the T-10000B allows for the upgrade of the data modem to MIL-STD-188-110C and other future modem waveforms by a firmware upgrade from the front or rear panel of the T-9000S. The T-10000B can accommodate Type 1 encryption such as ANDVT, KY-99, KG-84(), and KG-40 as well as commercial privacy devices or optional internal MELPe digital voice F/W with DES 56, AES 128 & AES 256 encryption functions.The audio interface supports front panel microphone and rear panel analog or VoIP connections.Full function control, programming and system monitoring/BITE can be accomplished from the front panel controls
and displays, or remotely via Ethernet or serial port. A serial port connector on the front panel is provided for ease of reprogramming the unit’s configuration. Channel,frequency, mode, forward power, reflected power, input audio and other operating information and status are presented in English via a large TFT displays.
