The XTRD-200 is a highly efficient rack-mountable traveling wave tube amplifier (TWTA) designed for fixed and mobile uplink applications.

The unit includes RF gain control, a solid state pre-amplifier, RF filters, cooling, and monitoring and control (M&C) systems.

Rack space is conserved because the amplifier occupies only 3 rack units (5¼ inches) of a standard 19-inch rack cabinet. The nominal weight is 50 pounds.

The XTRD-200 features a menu-driven front panel display and RS-232/422/485 serial port interfaces for complete computer control. RF, traveling wave tube, and default parameters are easily monitored on the four-line front panel display.

Gain control is provided via the front panel or through the serial interface.
