[Satellite Today 03-24-09] Miteq has introduced the PA-H Model series, a new product line of medium-power X-band antenna-mount solid-state power amplifier (SSPA) and transmitter product line — the PA-H Model series, Miteq announced March 23.
    The ruggedized PA-H product series is designed for outdoor SSPA applications required for satellite uplink applications. The systems uses amplifier modules engineered using GaAs FET technology, a power supply and a microprocessor-based monitor and control system.
    Separately, Miteq announced it also is rolling out with a PA-R Model series — another line of medium power X-band SSPA’s and transmitter systems. 
    The PA-R series is being debuted as an SSPA rack-mounted system using a modular approach to provide solutions for over-temperature, over-current and high output safety protection. Status and control is achieved via the unit’s remote RS422/485 bus or Ethernet interface port.
