55 Modular Phase ombined Systems PowerMAX architecture is the premium approach to modular SSPA Systems. Ultimate Parallel System eliability Extremely High Output Power apability 54

56 PowerMAX Innovation in Modularity PowerMAX is the latest advancement in Modular SSPA Technology U.S. patent 8,189,338 B2 Systems can be configured in 4 module, 8 module, or 16 module systems. Systems configured with a variety of module power levels to custom fit your redundant power requirement. Systems are completely field scalable: Start out with 4 modules. Grow system to 8 modules and/or 16 modules over time. No need to return system to factory for upgrade. educes initial equipment investment cost. All active components are modular and hot swappable from the front or rear panels including: Power Supply Modules Fans SSPA Modules M& ard 55

57 F Soft-Fail edundancy Modular Amplifiers should be sized such that a failure of 1 module can be tolerated by the system power budget. This is known as n+1 redundancy. 4 Module System: loss of 1 module results in 2.4dB reduction in output power 8 Module System: loss of 1 module results in 1.2dB reduction in output power 16 Module System: loss of 1 module results in 0.6dB reduction in output power In all cases the system automatically adjusts its gain to maintain constant gain with the loss of one or more modules. 56

58 Efficient Power ombining Extremely efficient power combining is at the heart of the PowerMAX architecture. Advanced 3D Electromagnetic Modeling Techniques are employed to design near loss-less 4-way combiners. The easily assembled 4-way combiner makes it very convenient to add SSPA modules in groups of four. All Passive ombining & No Switching results in hitless operation. 57

59 Pure Parallel System Architecture System is designed to be Purely Parallel. Failure of a hassis or M& ard will have no impact on the system operation. Unlike some modular amplifiers, PowerMAX is fully redundant right down to the Monitor and ontrol functionality. The loss of a M& card will not interrupt system remote control. System remote control is available as S485 or Ethernet. 58

60 Simplicity of Operation The sophisticated system monitor and control allows the system to be operated as if it were a single chassis amplifier. Single chassis-like operation is maintained with remote control as well as local (front panel) operation. The system output power detection is measured in True rms watts or dbm. power meter accuracy. Most HPA systems today use diode (peak) power detectors that do not accurately measure multicarrier or modulated signals. PowerMAX reports the true aggregate output power regardless of the number of carriers and modulation schemes. 59
