Celestia TTi to Present a New Generation of High Power GaN SSPAs at IBC 2024
Celestia TTI will present a new generation of high power, high performance GaN SSPAs on its booth 1.A52 at IBC this year, as part of its mission to provide the ultimate technology solutions to satellite operators, satellite broadcasters and ground station operators for powering their businesses.
Specialists in RF, antennas and ground stations with a track record spanning almost thirty years, Celestia TTI provides high power GaN SSPAs, RF systems, spacebourne SSPAs, antenna technologies and turnkey ground stations with advanced solutions crafted in Europe and delivered worldwide.
The business will present a family of products from its SSPA (Solid State Power Amplifiers) portfolio, each based on new generation Gallium Nitrate (GaN) technology ranging from tens of Watts up to kWs, covering low frequency bands up to Q band.
Also at IBC will be a range of outstanding solutions in GaN SSPAs/BUCs in DBS, Ku and C bands. Efficient, reliable and robust in outdoor and indoor operation, the range offers super high linear power, multicarrier operation and modularity with a combination in phase of units delivering output powers up to a few kWs on a built-in redundancy and hot swappable amplification modules.
Unique to Celestia TTI, the SSPA and BUC DBS product family of 200W, 300W and 550W models delivers up to 52dBm at P LINEAR from a highly compact footprint. Lightweight and with a small footprint, the 200W SSPA/BUC offers high output power and outstanding performance at an extremely competitive price when the amplifier has to be located really close to the antenna, either at the antenna hub or arm.
Advanced solutions specifically designed for lunar communications including high performance K band 500W/250W GaN SSPAs @22.55 - 23.15 GHz and X band 400W/800W GaN SSPAs @7.145-7.235 GHz, will additionally be presented at the show.
“The new generation of high power GaN SSPAs we have developed for high power uplinks in satellite communications and broadcast applications represent a major advance for the market as they deliver outstanding performance in demanding operations, with superior functionality and operation,” says Miguel Peña, Sales Director for Celestia TTI.
“As they rely on the latest, high performance GaN technology, they also offer many other benefits including reduced OPEX from lower electricity consumption – as much as 50% less from multicarrier high-power uplinks – and in CAPEX by cutting the number of antennas and associated footprint required.
“With increasing performance demands from satellite operators running large teleport operations and from satellite broadcasters relying on 24/7 support, new generation technology solutions from solid state amplifiers represent the key to unlocking future power requirements.
“At the same time, by achieving a reduction in energy consumption, they can also help operators become more responsible and sustainable by reducing their carbon footprint and impact on the environment,” he says.
