Section 5: Performance Tests

5.0 Introduction

This section describes some of the tests performed on production amplifiers before shipment.

Where possible, Paradise Datacom LLC maintains computer automated RF test stations to

ensure a high level of accuracy and consistency to production amplifier testing.

5.1 Standard tests

All Paradise Datacom Compact Outdoor amplifiers must meet rigid specifications and

undergo the following tests. Copies of the final test data are shipped along with the unit and/

or system. Figures 5-1 through 5-3 show examples of the final test data for a 140W C-Band

Compact Outdoor amplifier with an integrated block up converter.

5.1.1 Swept Gain

The amplifier gain is swept over the operating frequency range under small signal conditions

to confirm the minimum gain and gain flatness specifications. The entire Compact Outdoor

amplifier is tested in a temperature chamber from -40 °C to +60 °C and the gain is recorded.

See Figure 5-1, Item [1].
