[SatNews] Moving forward and never looking back this Company’s acquisition in June and competitive products are sure to draw attention at Milcom.

CPI’s SuperLinear TWTAs cost less to operate and are just as reliable as high power SSPAs. CPI recently compared the specifications of their 500 W X-band TWT ODU to a solid state BUC resulting in the following finds:

• To achieve the same amount of output linear power, the X-Band TWTA consumes less than 1/3 the prime power
• Heat dissipation is less than a quarter of the SSPA
• The TWTA is less than 1/3 the weight of the SSPA
• The TWTA is less than 1/3 the size of the SSPA

The TWTA is also rugged and reliable, built for the harshest environments, with MTBF to rival any SSPA. Visit for more details.

See our 40 W Ka-band BUC on display at Milcom. This product is small, lightweight, field proven, and built for the harshest environments. It is perfect for satcom-on-the-move, micro-flyaway systems, VSATs and antenna-mount applications. A dual LO version is now available, enabling RF bandwidths over 1 GHz.

In June, CPI acquired MCL. Under their agreement, CPI will continue to provide service and is maintaining the Illinois facility as a service center for MCL amplifiers, and is also providing service through MCL's former network of international service centers. CPI is also supporting former MCL customers with new amplifiers and systems. I
