2. Limiter
The output of the DC (+7dBm) is fed to the limiter, it will control the input power
variation (from 0dBm to +30dBm) to limit the 0dBm output, it will provide the protection to
input over drive.

SSPA
SSPA will be realized with 16 nos of 4.0KW amplifier modules and one no of 1:16 power
divider module, these modules will be placed in the mechanical rack in 2X8 matrix to maintain
the required dimensions [1550(L) X 700(B) X 410(H)].
To get the calibration and phase matching of each channel, phase shifter is
provided.
To get the gain matching of the each channel, digital attenuator is provided.
BITS facility is provided for VSWR, thermal and full power output at front panel
LED indication for each channel, and also provision for BITS (other than
calibration output) will be provided through remote interface.
MIL Grade connectors for input/output, power supply and data interface is used.
SSPA/individual modules will meet MIL STD 810G.
Provision for forced air cooling for each channel is provided.
Control & Monitoring Circuit
Control and Monitoring circuit is a system controller assembled in 4KW RF
POWER AMPLIFIER designed to interface with Remote System. It controls the operation of the
Power amplifier based on Remote System interface commands and updates operation status on
demand. It also monitors the amplifier operation, and generates the fault indications, if any
fault occurs. The Control circuit design is based on Microchips Advanced PIC18 series
Microcontroller.
