[Via Satellite 03-05-2014] Advantech Wireless will present its new UltraLinear GaN based Solid State Power Amplifier (SSPA) Systems at SATELLITE 2014 in Washington, D.C. These new SSPAs provide high performance in multicarrier mode, making them ideal for large teleports and the broadcast industry.

Advantech’s broadcast modulator MSBM-500 offers a digital broadcast match for GaN SSPA technology with one multicarrier modulator, IP input, up to 16 carriers output, and one high linearity GaN SSPA/ Solid State Power Block (SSPB). The small device is defined as a “Teleport in a Suitcase,” and has the ability to reach up to 16 transponders at the same time over 500 MHz of bandwidth.
