AWMA-Kx500-BTE
----------------------------------------------- WARNING ---------------------------------------------------
When supplying power to this equipment, use the 3-pin connector provided, to connect to a
grounded power outlet. If power is supplied without grounding to the equipment, there is a risk of
receiving a severe or fatal electric shock.
In the context of this document any voltage that is lethal is viewed as ‘High Voltage’. Therefore,
even prime power (180 to 265V AC) is dangerous because prime power potentials have been
known to cause death or injury.
----------------------------------------------- WARNING ---------------------------------------------------
This equipment can not be repaired by the operator. DO NOT attempt to remove the equipment
cover or to disassemble internal components. Only qualified service technicians should service this
equipment. There are high-voltage parts in this equipment presenting a risk of severe injury to
untrained personnel. In addition, there is a risk of damage to precision components.
----------------------------------------------- WARNING ---------------------------------------------------
ALWAYS TERMINATE THE OUTPUT OF THE POWER AMPLIFIER WITH A RF
LOAD CAPABLE OF DISSIPATING FULL CW RF POWER. SIMILARLY TERMINATE
THE INPUTS TO AVOID THE POSSIBILITY OF THE UNIT BEING DRIVEN BY STRAY
LEAKAGE SIGNALS. Incorporate the terminations prior to applying prime power to the unit.
This procedure prevents self-oscillation and irradiation of the local environment. Even if a source is
not connected to the unit you are working with, there are situations where the amplifier can go into
a self-induced mode and generate high levels of RF energy. Destruction caused under excessive
load voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) will void the warranty. Although this equipment has
internal protection for VSWR higher than 3:1 and will automatically go in shutdown (with a delay
of 1 second), still it is a safe procedure to avoid unwanted effects.

AWMA-Kx500-BTE
----------------------------------------------- WARNING ---------------------------------------------------
DO NOT LOOK INTO THE OUTPUT PORTS OF THE POWERED RF AMPLIFIER.Treat
the powered RF unit with extreme care. Keep in mind that levels of microwave radiation that do not
induce immediate physical discomfort in most individuals can be sufficiently high to induce longer
term effects. Your eyes are particularly vulnerable parts of your body.
The permissible levels of exposure are quite low compared to the power levels of the amplifiers
built by Advantech Wireless (e.g. less than 10 mW versus 20 to 500 W delivered by various units).
The permissible levels are currently being studied by a number of organizations. In the past the U.S.
safety Code established a dosage rate of 10 mW/cm2. Currently there is consideration being given
to reducing the permissible level to 1 mW/cm2in the United States, as has been the case for several
European countries.
----------------------------------------------- CAUTION-----------------------------------------------------
THIS IS A HEAVY EQUIPMENT. USE TWO OR MORE PEOPLE TO LIFT AND MOVE
this equipment or use an equipment cart. There is a risk of back injury, if this equipment is lifted by
one person.

4.1 INTRODUCTION
This manual contains information required to install and operate the 500W Kx-Band Hub-mount
(Outdoor) Solid State Power Amplifier model AWMA-Kx500-BTE.
4.2 DESCRIPTION
The AWMA-Kx500-BTE is an outdoor Kx-Band 500 W Solid State Power Amplifier (SSPA) with
redundant option. Each Solid State Power Amplifier unit is self-contained and is intended for
mounting near the hub of the antenna.. Each Amplifier unit incorporates a DC main power supply and
forced air cooling system, see Figure 1: Product Outline (single unit) at page 16. Each unit features a
serial RS-485 interface that provides full remote monitor and control capabilities via a computer
interface as well as serial RS-232 interface (that may be used in Terminal mode) and a discrete
interface (Relay) for local or remote monitoring and control of selected functions. A functional block
diagram of a single unit is shown in Figure 2 at page 17.
4.3 SINGLE UNIT MAJOR COMPONENTS
The SSPA Amplifier consists of the following major components:
• Input Module
• Driver Module,
• Power Amplifier Module,
• Waveguide Assembly,
• Main Controller Board,
• Power Supply,
• Current Sensor, and
• Power Monitor Board.
These components are interconnected using dedicated wiring harnesses and coaxial cables.
To clarify the explanation of the components in the following paragraphs, refer to the block
diagram in Figure 2 at page 17.
11

AWMA-Kx500-BTE
4.3.1 INPUT MODULE
The Input Module contains two Variable Voltage Attenuators (VVA) one used for the gain control
of the unit and the other one for temperature compansation of the gain. It also contains amplifier
stages to boost the input signal. Integral to this module there is a Controller and Power Conditioner
Board used for biasing of RF devices and for the digital to analog conversion of temperature
compensation and gain control signals. The input module has a gain of 10 dB, typically.
4.3.2 RF DRIVER MODULE
The RF Driver Module consists of a 30 W solid state power amplifier operating over the frequency
range of 13.750 - 14.500 GHz. The driver module is integrated on a heat sink and provides an
interface for Monitor and Control Assembly. This module has a DC board containing the bias,
control and protection circuitry. Other features includes temperature compensation, gain control and
Summary Alarm Indication (failure report of one or more GaAs FET devices). The driver module
has a gain of 45 dB, typically.
4.3.3 POWER AMPLIFIER MODULE
The Power Amplifier Module amplifies the RF signals from the input of the unit over the
frequency range of 13750 MHz to 14500 MHz. The power amplifier module has a gain of 14 dB,
typically.
The monitoring and control signals are the Alarm Output and the Relay Input for muting the power
amplifier.
Temperature sensors are installed at the module’s hot spots to prevent the RF devices from
overheating and operating at temperatures exceeding 85ºC.
The power amplifier also has the following functions:
1. Provides and removes the DC voltages to the GaAs FET devices within the module.
2. Provides a temperature dependent DC voltage to the Monitor & Control for temperature
compensation.
3. Sends a FAULT signal to the main controller board when detecting a fault.
4. Any Synthesizer is out of lock
The power amplifier will be in the Mute mode if:
1. The user sends a MUTE command through the Relay, RS-232, or RS-485 interfaces.
2. The hot spot temperature exceeds +85 °C.
3. Any of the GaAs FET devices failed (drain current out of range).
12

AWMA-Kx500-BTE
4.3.4 WAVEGUIDE ASSEMBLY
The Waveguide Assembly contains a forward and reflected power detector, an RF output circulator
and a waveguide receive reject filter.
The forward power detector and the reflected power detector monitor the RF output power level and
the reflected power level respectively. The detected voltage signals are delivered to the Power
Monitor Module that converts the analog signals in digital signals and delivers them to the Main
Controller Board.
The circulator provides a VSWR protection at the SSPA RF output port. The VSWR at the
circulator output is 1.25:1, minimum. The termination load of the isolator is capable of fully
absorbing any reflected power. A WR-75 flat type waveguide flange is the unit output.
4.3.5 MAIN CONTROLLER BOARD
The Main Controller Board contains a microprocessor controller that performs all of the
monitoring and control, input/output communication and the decision-making. The main controller
board provides:
1. Fault detection and indication from each module of the unit
2. Mute control and indication
3. Forward RF power indication
4. Reflected RF power indication
5. Redundancy control
6. Attenuation setting
7. Relay, RS-232 and RS-485 customer interface
Note that the attenuation is factory preset for these units that are conceived to be part of a
redundant phase-combined system.
4.3.5.1 FAULT Detection and Indication
The unit will automatically go into a shutdown mode (MUTE) and send a message to all of the
external interfaces (including the Tx LED, which will turn red) when any one of the following
occurs:
1. The hotspot temperature exceeds 85°C.
2. Any of the GaAs FET devices failed.
3. Reflected power is greater than 50 dBm (6 dB back-off from the rated P1dB
13

AWMA-Kx500-BTE
The SSPA continually monitors the internal temperature and the current consumption. It also has
an automatic shutdown feature to prevent operation at excessive temperatures. The unit will
automatically restart when the hotspot temperature falls below to 65°C.
A thermal alarm may result from any one of the following conditions:
1. High ambient temperature (the SSPA Amplifier is designed to operate between -30°C and
+55°C ambient).
2. Blockage at the air intake or exhaust vents.
4.3.5.2 MUTE Control
The user can disable the RF output power remotely by:
1. Leaving unconnected pins G and H of the Relay interface connector the Transmit way will be
MUTE (see Section 5.1 at page 23).
2. Sending a mute command in terminal mode through the RS-232 interface for transmit.
3. Sending a mute command in packet mode through the RS-485 interface for transmit.
This feature is useful if the user wishes to perform a maintenance check or to check out the
transmission system. Note that when the unit is in MUTE, the Tx LED is red flashing.
4.3.6 POWER SUPPLY
The Power Supply consists of two identical, 2000 W Power Supply modules. Each module can
supply outputs as follows:
• 3 x 25 A @ + 12 VDC,
• 3 x 0.1 A @ - 9 VDC,
• 1 x 0.3 A @ +15 VDC,
The power supply portion of the SSPA provides all of the internal voltages necessary to operate the
RF section, the forced air cooling system and the Monitor and Control board.
The power supply is configured to operate from an 180-264 VAC, 47-63 Hz, single phase
supply. The overall typical power consumption, at the rated RF output power, is approximately
4000 W (for one unit).
The cooling fans are supplied from the main power supply with a variable voltage (temperature
dependent) between 0 and 48 V DC.
4.3.7 CURRENT SENSOR
The Current Sensor Assembly generates a voltage signal proportional with the 12 VDC high current
delivered by the main power supply to the RF modules. This signal is delivered to the Main Control
Board for DC current consumption monitoring.
14

AWMA-Kx500-BTE
4.3.8 DIGITAL POWER MONITOR MODULE
The Digital Power Monitor Module receives the detected voltages proportional with the RF output
power and with the RF reversed power respectively and converts them into digital signals to be
delivered to the Main Controller Board.
4.3.9 DIGITAL POWER MONITOR MODULE FOR COMBINED POWER
The Digital Power Monitor Module for Combined Power receives the detected voltage proportional
with the RF combined output power (through the Redundant Interface) and converts it into a digital
signal to be delivered to the Main Controller Board.
4.3.10 COOLING SYSTEM
The cooling subsystem includes three fans, and the harnesses provided for easy fan replacement.
The cooling fans are configured for 48 V DC operation.
