New levels of space amplification reached thanks to our SSPA
Being the number one worldwide provider of Traveling Wave Tubes (TWTs) for space applications, satellite manufacturers and operators depend on Thales MIS’* amplification solutions to connect people, observe the earth, explore outer space and provide high-precision positioning systems worldwide.
In an ever-changing market with developing amplification technologies, Thales MIS’s objective remains the same: to offer to the market competitive solutions with very attractive performances. Our leading-edge Solid-State Power Amplifier (SSPA) portfolio offers a space amplification technology evolution focused on Ka-bands and Ku-bands for flexible satellites.
Satellite operators want flexible spacecraft payload and reduced lead times so that they can adapt to future market needs and uncertainty. On-board processing and active antennas meet their requirements as they allow them to modify the services they offer over the lifetime of the satellite.
Our Octal SSPA is perfectly suited to their needs. Thanks to its electronic integration and reduced size and weight, our SSPA is adapted to array antenna solutions where hundreds of Radio Frequency sources are packed together to increase the satellite’s flexibility. The SSPA is specifically designed to fit GEO/MEO satellites and is evolving to meet the needs of LEO constellations.
