Microwave combiners for satellite news gathering support 1:1 redundancy
Luso Electronics launched two high power redundant combiner assemblies (RCAs), for Ku-band and C-band. When configured with the company’s controller, the RCAs facilitate automatic redundancy in a two-amplifier phase combiner. In the event of failure of one amplifier, the combiner is automatically configured to allow the functioning amplifier to deliver its output to the antenna port with minimal loss. The failed amplifier is routed automatically to load.
The system can also be used as a 1:1 redundancy system if phase combining is not required. The systems can be used in fixed earth stations, satellite news gathering (SNG / digital SNG) vehicles and flyaway units. The Ku-band unit covers 12.75 to 14.50 GHz and is rated at 1200 Watts (2 x 600 Watts); the C-band unit operates from 5.85 to 6.725 GHz with a power rating of 2000 Watts (2 x 1000 Watts).
Both feature 25dB isolation in combined mode and 40dB isolation in 1:1 mode. Maximum insertion loss is 0.35dB and switching time is 3 seconds maximum. The systems can be configured in many ways, including mounting the RF package externally, with remote or manual phase adjustment, or completely automatic phase adjustment with minimal operator involvement. Luso offers the units as standalone items or can integrate them into a custom designed system based on customer requirements.

This month Keithley Instruments is giving away two of its Model 2200 power supplies, worth 735 Euros each, for EETimes Europe's readers to win. The Model 2200-20-5: 20V, 5A, 100W on offer is one of five general-purpose programmable DC power supplies recently launched by the company, designed for source measurement instruments for component, module, and device characterization and test applications.
Part of the Series 2200 family, the unit’s voltage output accuracy is specified at 0.03% and its current output accuracy is 0.05%. The supply’s high output (1mV) and measurement (0.1mA) resolution makes it well-suited for characterizing low power circuits and devices in applications such as measuring idle mode and sleep mode currents to confirm devices can meet today’s ever-more-challenging goals for energy efficiency.
And the winners are:
In our previous reader offer, EPC was giving away ten of its EPC9002 development board kits, worth USD 95 each.
Lucky winners include I. Blythe and C. Hardman from the UK, M. Casartelli and D. Cogliati from Italy, C. Cossio from Spain, W. Milarch from Germany, r. Milewicz from Poland, M. Prascak from Slovakia, A. Raidl from Austria and M. Taslakov from Bulgaria.
All should be receiving their kits soon. Let's wish them some interesting findings with their projects.
