The company said its XTD-750KHE TWTA unit has the same size, weight and prime-power consumption of a standard 400-Watt amplifier. Comtech Xicom said it designed the antenna-mountable TWTA for high linear power and high-efficiency for Ku-band satcom uplinks.

   “No other product in the marketplace offers this level of linear power in such a lightweight package,” Comtech Xicom President John Branscum said in a statement. “As customers demand higher performance from existing systems or lower power consumption for future satcom designs, they continuously turn to Comtech Xicom Technology, where we are dedicated to breaking new ground on TWTA and SSPA efficiency and performance.”

   Service providers and system integrators can obtain additional specifications and information from Comtech Xicom at the SATELLITE 2012 conference and exhibition by visiting Booth 709.
