Description
The Sunair T-5000A is the signature solution for mission critical communications applications that require hemispheric coverage. The transmitter system combines solid-state RF power amplification and control technology to produce a secure, high-power solution, and operates over a frequency range of 1.5 MHz to 30 MHz. Maximum power
Power is 5 kW to facilitate long-range hemispheric communications when combined with the appropriate antenna. The power is reduced to 1 dB
down to the 500 W level. Typical operating voltage is 338 – 458 VAC, 50 or 60 Hz with a moderate power requirement ≤ 16 kVA.
The Sunair T-5000A is supplied as a complete system consisting of the Sunair T-9000D Software-Defined HF SSB/ISB transmitter, F-9800
Post-Selector and the 5 Kilowatt LPA-5000A Power Amplifier.
The amplifier architecture consists of four intermediate amplifier IPA subsystems that are combined to produce final output power and
managed by the Sunair HPAC high power amplifier controller.
HPAC actively monitors system balance and performance and provides power control and safety shutdown in the event of indoor unit or antenna failure. The Advanced Embedded Test (BITE) capability reports the status of the unit down to the subsystem level to the HPAC, the T-9000D, and then to a remote site when configured. The system’s intuitive modular design allows ease of maintenance and upgrades throughout the equipment life cycle at minimal cost. The T-5000A is available in standard double-rack or special single-rack configurations. These specialized, high-performance products are in daily service as integral components of critical strategic communications solutions for leading defense, eacekeeping and aviation organizations around the world.
