A SOLUTION FOR EACH TRANSMISSION
ACTIA Aerospace, division of the ACTIA group, is one of the leading manufacturers in Europe of power amplifiers for satellite transmissions. For almost 50 years ACTIA has been developing an efficient, innovative and reliable range of tube amplifiers (ATOP), solid state amplifiers (SSPA) and amplifier with L-band converter (BUC).
This range of power amplifiers signed by ACTIA meets all the requirements of satellite transmissions for civil but also military applications with rugged solutions qualified in many theaters of operation.
ACTIA Aerospace has deployed thousands of amplifiers which are used all over the world, on land and at sea, to establish traditional telecommunication links, for
- broadcasting TV or radio programs,
- remote reporters’ stations,
- for transportable systems or flyaway,
- for secure broadband communications or for broadband IP access by satellite.
ACTIA Aerospace‘s expertise enables it to support its customers in choosing a power solution, tube or solid state, the most optimized according to the considered application.
ACTIA power amplifiers are available in 19 ” racks for bay integration or in a waterproof case for outdoor use. Solutions are offered in all satellite transmission bands.

SOLID STATE POWER AMPLIFIER (SSPA)
ACTIA Aerospace offers a wide range of Solid-State Power Amplifiers (SSPA) in a compact version that can be integrated outdoors or in an indoor bay in modular configuration. Pioneer in the modular design of solid-state power amplifiers which allow to offer a gentle degradation of the output power and maintain operational service during maintenance (Hot Swap).
The ingenious design of the ACTIA modular amplifiers makes it possible to perform this “plug and play” type operation without interrupting traffic. ACTIA Aerospace offers reliable, self-redundant and very linear modular SSPAs, with power ranging from 200 to 2kW. In the case where size is of prime importance for a compact integration as close as possible to the antenna source, ACTIA Aerospace offers high-performance external SSPA from 20W to 100W. ACTIA Aerospace masters the design of SSPA whatever the technology of the LDMOS, AsGa and GaN to offer its customers products optimized according to the needs (performance, cost, consumption …).
AMPLIFIER WITH L-BAND CONVERTER (BUC)
ACTIA Aerospace has external amplifiers equipped with an L-band transposition option (BUC). This functionality allows the customer to optimize his system architecture by directly applying the L-band output of his modems to the input of the amplifier which supports conversion at the appropriate transmission frequency. This function is very useful in particular in the case of mobile transportable stations or flyaway to reduce the number of equipment and the space requirement or in the case of fixed stations to limit the losses of long interconnections to the amplifier on the antenna.
