AnaAat® SSPA Quick Start Guide
1.Mount the SSPA on the antenna.
2.Connect the cables for RF input, and RF output (waveguide).
3.If needed, connect the M&C or PA MONITOR to the driver or Protection Switch.
4.Connect AC power, nominal 120 or 240 VAC.
There are no settings that need adjustment.
The SSPA is factory set for a gain equal to the P1dB value.
For monitoring the performance of the SSPA, there are two methods
1.Connect a computer to the RS232 port using the cable provided, and the Supervisor software. Now you can see a status of the SSPA digital and analog monitored points. The gain is fixed and cannot be changed. You can MUTE the SSPA with the command TX OFF/ON.
2.Connect a cable (user provided) to the PA MONITOR connector. This will provide:
A.Pin 1 is used to MUTE the SSPA by grounding this pin.
B.Pin 2 is used to show a summary fault in the SSPA (0 volts). 5 volts is normal.
C.Pin 3 is used to show an analog voltage that changes as output power changes.
D.Pin 4 is used to show the SSPA internal temperature in analog form.
E.Pin 5 is not used.
F.Pin 6 is ground.

3133501
The AnaSat® VSAT series of SSPAs are designed for continuous outdoor duty in all types of environments. Ideally suited for SCPC, MCPC, DAMA, and VoIP applications. Designed to interface with a 0 dBm driver, the AnaSat® VSAT SSPA may be used in a wide variety of communication networks.
The C-band members of the AnaSat® SSPA family transmit in the 6 GHz frequency range. The Ku-band members of the SSPA® SSPA family transmit in the 14 GHz frequency.
The AnaSat® VSAT SSPAs incorporate a solid-state power amplifier, M&C function, and a universal power supply, all in a small, highly integrated outdoor package. The only cabling required to the indoor plant are the RF and AC power cables.
The Power Amplifier (PA) uses Internally-Matched Field-Effect Transistors (IMFET) to achieve highly linear power and gain with minimal intermodulation distortion (IMD) products.
AnaSat® SSPAs use a wide input voltage (100 to 240VAC, 47 to 63Hz) switching power supply to develop the +13V used as the internal power source for the Power amplifier. An internal circuit senses the input voltage range being used and automatically switches to the appropriate mode. The AC input is connected via a 4-pin circular connector.
Shown in Figure 1 below is a 125W Ku-Band AnaSat® SSPA.
