Unique efficiency and signal quality in compact, weatherproof design

The R&S®PKU100-O is a solid-state high-power amplifier (Outdoor) for the Ku-band with a peak power of up to 750 W. Thanks to the innovative solid-state design, it features top-notch efficiency in an extremely compact design. That enables Teleport operators to simply integrate the R&S®PKU100 into existing infrastructures while saving energy costs. Its rugged and weatherproof design complies with IP65 and withstands extrem weather conditions. The powerful adaptive linearization improves the RF parameters like never seen before. The R&S®PKU100-O outdoor satellite uplink amplifier from Rohde & Schwarz combines the advantages of solid-state and tube based amplifiers unprecedented.

Features & benefits

Excellent power efficiency

Up to 50% cost savings for reduced power levels and 1+1 systems

The R&S®PKU100 reaches unparalleled efficiency values in relevant operational use cases as reduced power levels and for backup amplifiers, which are most of the time on standby.  If operational at 100W (Plin), the 400W-model consumes only 950 W mains power. That results in an efficiency of 10% (@Plin), which cuts energy costs by 25% compared to typical TWTAs. And for 1+1 systems that saving even doubles because of an extremly low power consumption of the backup amplifier.

Adaptive linearization

Unparalleled spectral purity

This R&S®PKU100 is the only one with adaptive linearization within the Ku-band frequency, which is essential for minimizing intermodulation products and optimizing power efficiency. No user interactions or adjustments required, since the linearizer adapts to provide the best possible signal performance. This feature significantly improves transmission quality, especially for higher order modulation schemes.

Smart operation

Simplifying lifes of ground station operators

Operating and maintaining a R&S®PKU100 is blindingly easy. It offers a sophisticated graphical UI with monitoring capabilities and comes with self-protection mechanisms to eliminate harming by accidental treatment. And even in case of a failure, the R&S®PKU100 stays on air. Redundant power supplies and parallel signal paths put a stop to the single-point of failure design principles of TWTAs.

Rugged and compact

Withstanding extreme ambient conditions

The rugged and weatherproof outdoor amplifiers comply with IP65, and the 400W model weighs just 23 kg. Comparable solid-state amplifiers usually weigh twice as much. A high power amplifier producing 750 W saturated output power in solid state technology offering such a compactness is uncompareable on the market.
