Xicom Technology:
A Leader In High-Power SATCOM Amplifier Products
Xicom Technology, Inc.
was established in
1991 and is a technology leader in the
development and manufacturing
of high-power amplifier products for worldwide commercial
and military satcom markets.
Amplifiers include traveling wave
tube amplifiers (TWTAs), solid-state power amplifiers (SSPAs)
and Klystron power amplifiers
(KPAs) operating in a wide range
of communication frequencies.
Amplifier products are available
for fixed location and mobile
applications and are packaged in
rackmount and antenna-mount
ODU configurations.
Xicom maintains an extensive product line of tube-based amplifiers and SSPAs.
Highly regarded for its reliable
output power and efficiency,
Xicom TWTAs and KPAs are
used in broadcast and broadband applications throughout
the world. Xicom high-power
amplifiers (HPAs) provide
power levels vital to satellite
communication applications,
both traditional broadcast, the
direct-to-home, satellite-news-gathering and flyaway markets,
and emerging broadband, specifically the Internet protocol
(IP)-over-satellite market.
Xicom continues the expansion of its revolutionary “
shoe-box-sized” block up-converters
(BUCs) for mobile satcom applications with some of the smallest
and lightest feature-rich BUCs
available today. The family has
been increased to include new
models that operate in the C-, X-,
Ku-, extended Ku-, and Ka-band
satcom frequencies.
These new antenna-mount
BUCs are designed to meet
the most demanding requirements for size, weight and
high reliability. The units
have been specifically designed for rugged, outdoor,
mobile environments.
