outdoor environments.
1.1 Description
The Compact Outdoor SSPA is a one-piece integrated Satcom amplifier system. It includes
the AC/DC power supply, microwave amplifier module, microprocessor based monitor and
control circuitry, and an efficient thermal management system.

This amplifier is ideal for mounting on the boom of small antennas or anywhere that size and
weight are a major concern.
